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!
