In the same way, death will be inevitable for all. He doesn't mind dying, once he has fulfilled his duties. Then he will lie content in his grave which will eventually be covered with grass where new flowers will once again bloom. Thus the cycle of life will repeat itself.....! Great thoughts generated on looking at Nature.

A warrior never lives for himself, but for a cause. Here the self assigned mission of the warrior is to pray to bless the land with rain and a favorable climate. He sees the flowers covering the grasslands. Once the snow and fog come, the flowers will die.

In summer flowers cover the grasslands, and home thoughts are deep in my heart. But I have a mission to fulfill for my Khan and our people. May the Sky God protect our tribe, as he protects the flowers blooming with life- - - -A very soulful and touching write. The warrior in you is in the mission - - And God will surely fulfil your desire.

You have put yourself into a warrior's shoes and probed his feelings so beautifully. To see the world through different lenses can give us a new perspective on life. A great read. Nature imagery is in tune with the mood of the narrator. This poem takes us back in time, yet it is so contemporary. It has a universality, a timelessness.
