what the cloud knows?
except melting with the cool touch of the breeze

what the rain knows?
except carrying the heavens to fields without invitation

what the stream knows?
except offering fruits with the spirit of sunlight

what the tree knows?
except caring the cloud that in the cradle of sky

O manasi* !
what the baby ,the seed, knows?
except creeping into dreams on the lullaby of love

what you know, o my manasi?

except gifting a pearl in the oyster of my heart
the passionate tear in the eye
the patient smile on the lip
the reason to live--- what else is needed?

---------
manasi--- the personification of thought, heart...
