The stone! A big one I remember
Stood far back, somewhere in the middle of the meadow;
Square and heavy; lone stood firmly
She notice no rain; nor thunder
Nor lightning could break apart into two;
She seeks the heat as if she consoles her bosom,
Tightly and hot; and hard
With grasses growing around her, welcoming green
Spring is all her strength to fancy dress;
She utters not a word;
Nor she claims a will;
She stood highly above the grass; luring
And I hesitate not to persuade her.
The stone! A big one I remember
Stood far back, somewhere in the middle of the meadow;
Square and heavy; lone stood firmly
And I make my way through, motivating
I make no sense nor do I make a boundary;
Holding a bucket full, I sway all along
Happy as I can be; this mastery move
I see none; I hear none
I fear none; I regulate my emotions
In and out; up and down
Pleasing to the nature’s call; I bounce back
Smooth and steady;
My own sitting, still am a sitting beauty
The stone! A big one I remember
Stood far back, somewhere in the middle of the meadow;
Square and heavy; lone stood firmly
Easy much as I undress, quite and alone
Bewitching and enthralling; as I play
Splashing and ravishing; cold water
Charming and enrapturing;
Intoxicating and thrilling; with joy
Decorating and delighting; my own
Ruling and conquering, all my senses
Intoxicating my body temple;
Poisoning my essence; committing
I see none nor do I hear things;
Ah! How wonder, I be the queen of my endearment
The stone! A big one I remember
Stood far back, somewhere in the middle of the meadow;
Square and heavy; lone stood firmly
Happy as much I can be; dancing through breeze
Muffling soon as I carry, shoulder straight
I smell of flowers and I walk gracefully
I feel this peace; the fondness to worship
I care and I Fervour; My bath
A wilder fondness I pray
A wilder devotion I follow; holiness
A wilder Loyalty I sanctify
Ah! This stone and my wilder bath gusto, a memoire
