Summary of poem
There is a communicate happening among the Wind, The Stars, the Moon, the Ocean, the Cloud, the Earth and the Little Girl. The Wind poses the identical query to each one of these. The query is ‘what is life?’ Each of these gives a unique answer. The Stars answer that to shine with one’s very own brightness is life. In the absence of the moon, they shine brightly and they feel free. Every star feels that it has some power to have hundreds of thousands of companions around. The stars also feel that they are a huge family. The Moon complains that she has black spots on her. She is lifeless. She has borrowed light which seems like a shroud. Being the child of the ocean is her lot. For the Ocean, life is penance or renunciation and it is important to understand one’s limits and keep one’s dignity. His salty waters produce pearls and cause rain.
The Cloud says that to rain at the proper time and at the proper place and to lose itself and give away its being in pleasure and self-abandon is good, however the real-life is to rain on hills that are in dire want of drops of water. The Earth responds saying that life is love. For her taking and giving is real life. She sustains human beings. After getting worn-out in the end the Wind sees a Little Girl who informs her that she is the life of this creation. The Wind sees her lighting a few new lamps with the lamp that is alight. On being requested why she has kept some lamps unlighted; the Little Girl says it is no use to light them as they haven't any oil in them. The Wind likes the game so much that she joins the Little Girl..
