The meaning

I have always had question for whirlwind –

What's the secret of power and youth?

That's the answer of livening whirlwind:

«Youth and power – in wind. That's a truth!»

 

I have always had question for ocean –

What's the meaning of world that I see?

That's the answer of sonorous ocean:

«Our world should be stormy like me!»

 

I have always had question for sunlight –

How be brighter than rays of the sun?

I do not heard the answer of sunlight,

But he said: «You must shine, my dear son!»
