A poignant love poem, as an invocation to Nature, by Rajashree, exclusively by Different Truths.

Not the hard hail of a roaring storm
 but a tender drop of dew I am!
             
Born with the life a few moments only,
I have built myself for you into an ocean vast,
a drop no more but an ocean of love
without any shore!
 
O’ the thousand-rayed One 
I wish only to glitter in a moment’s union
with your ray and then go down forever!
 
My immersion into your fiery splendour is
all that I ever asked for,
to lose myself in you was my goal forever!
 
I know no deliverance
but to be the fragrance of your deathless flower!
