Let Me Live, Too

When gusty wind of your love Touched past my spirit O dear life! I have stood fast On the bosom of earth Like a banyan tree. I have spread my circle Of prop roots To shoulder wide branches Of my singularity. With a prompt of finger Now I can call you! Taking a spangle of dawning sun On your crimson forehead Come under my hospitable shadow, Make your nest, Perch it in the arms of horizon, Live like thrilling waves Under the kisses of nasty wind. In the blissful coolness Of your beauty O dear life, Let me live too!
