Wind, Water, Flowers, A Love Poem Poem by Ravi Kopra
Wind, Water, Flowers, A Love Poem
Wind brings fragrance from flower fields
Water in streams flows murmuring slowly
Smooths rough stones softly, gently
Flowers on the bank sway in the breeze
Birds on tree branches sing sweetly
Sun shines through the leaves and makes
Pretty patterns of light and shade, swiftly
You and I saunter by the bank of the stream
Hand in hand, we stop by a blossoming cherry tree
I move my hands softly on your body
Hold your face in my hands and kiss you gently
And you say: how sweet my love!
You give me chilling goosebumps
I love you, love you, warmly.

Water hollows stone,
wind scatters water,
stone stops the wind.
Water, wind, stone.
Wind carves stone,
stone's a cup of water,
water escapes and is wind.
Stone, wind, water.
Wind sings in its whirling,
water murmurs going by,
unmoving stone keeps still.
Wind, water, stone.
Each is another and no other:
crossing and vanishing
through their empty names:
water, stone, wind.
