Ashayam
I want you to find me in forests,
crawling through bushes and looking for things small
I want you to catch me
while communing with rain, wind and trees.
I want us to be intertwined and inseparable
as branches above and mycelium below.
I want you to kiss me
as drops of rain kiss the leaves,
gently glowing in the light,
with me trembling under your touch
I want you to chase me
down the wild streams
through fields of native grasses and flowers.
I want you to be part of me,
as smell of ancient dirt fills my nostrils
and reaches every fiber of my being.
I want you to hold me in the field,
under the countless stars sparkling like dew in morning,
and with the spirits of ancestors watching over us.
I want you to love me, as artist needs to be loved,
Deeply, freely and unbound,
for me to grow in your safe and warm embrace.
