The Earth is Calling Me

I don't like sitting inside a closed cabinet.


Even if it's studded with diamonds


And woven with gold laces.


I don't like sitting at the window


And see the birds mocking at me-


How I am stuck inside a dingy room


And have nothing but four walls to gaze at.


I don't need the Kohinoor,


I don't need anything else.


What I need is to feel how is it to be under a tree shade


How it feels to sleep on a bed of soft grass


And enjoy


The dancing shiny maize.


The flowers will sway, the birds will sing,


Trees will dance to the tune of the wind.


The Earth is calling me; the nature is driving me mad


With her seductive smile.


I don't want to be stuck in this ten by ten cell


And gather dust like


An old hat.
