——Stray Birds
Stray Birds is one of Tagore’s collected poems. It includes about 300 poems .Tagore is an excellent poet and artist. During his life he wrote a lot of poems, like Stray Birds, the Crescent Moon, the Gardener, Flying Fire and so on. Most of them have the same theme: love, nature and thinking about life.
Poems in Stray Birds are not long, and some of them are just a sentence. The first time you read these poems, just like in the early summer morning after a storm, and you open the bedroom window, you would feel a pure and peace world. Everything is so fresh and beautiful, but the meaning in these poems is so profound that you can’t stop thinking it again and again. Day and night, streams and oceans, freedom and betrayal, have become one under Tagore’s pen.Those short sentences show a profound philosophy of life, and lead the world to explore the source of truth and wisdom.
“Once we dreamt that we were strangers. We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.” I do not remember how many times when this text drift into my mind. There is always a somewhat inexplicable moved. Short sentence and few words, from them you can find a really comfort and warm in this boring and noisy world.
From Tagore’s words, I feel his attitude to love and thinking of love.
“You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.”It shows the deep love. Without doubt, Tagore’ inspiration comes from life, but they are higher than life.
I like listen some light music when I read the “Stray Birds”. Just imagine I were a bird, flying in the blue sky freely. Thanks Tagore left us so beautiful and wisdom thought.
