Present at the festivity of life:
no one!
For we live our lives
through the lives of others—
themselves with no life;
and thus we miss our own:
but, nobody knows!
When we are in love,
we have a lucid glimpse
into our own souls:
in those moments—we are alive!
However, most of the time
we are half-dead:
nothing much of importance happen;
but we feel important
giving importance to our lives,
and yet it is no more important
than that of an ant.
Beautiful! I am delighted with the beauty of expression: ‘when we are in love/we have a lucid glimpse/into our own souls/in those moments—we are alive! ’ An adorable piece of poetry!
Only when we are in love, we truly live! This love needn't be the feeling we have for a lover! It can be the love for anything....for nature, our fellow beings, a hobby or love of pets! However a heart without love of any kind is a barren, dry heart! Quite philosophical!

I would like to translate this poem
but, most of the time we are half-dead; nothing much of importance happen; but we feel important giving importance to our lives, and yet it is no more important than that of an ant.....touching and impressive expression with nice theme. A beautiful poem nicely executed.
