The Jump
A fish : On the water’s surface
On a jumpy dive it found the scorching boulder
Another jump , a bird’s deadly claw
Yet another jump , it’s death.
A bird – the moment it dies.
With a blade of Grass
With a blade of Grass
I green carpeted the earth
With help from a tree branch
I built a valley,where birds chirp
With a pebble’s help
I created the mountain ranges and waterfalls
In consultation with a Hummingbird
I constructed a heavenly palace
With a single tear drop
I let dark clouds spread all over the sky.
