instead I like to become a dense green tree,
with green leaves to counter sun in the hot summers
and to counter cold breeze in the freezing winters,
I love to be a shelter
for the singing birds
and dancing butterflies.
I love to be colorful and fragrant in the springs
I am so much blind in my love
that I welcome even the ugly insects
and serve at my green dining table
my nectar for them.
But I become selfish in the rainy season,
my gravity pulls down the droplets from the silky hairs
of the beautiful sexy mermaids,
who rise from the seas
thunder in a naughty mood
smile as lightning
and ultimately surrender for showers of love.
Leave me alone in this wet weather,
let me sleep in the arms of my lovely grandmother,
and let me dream greenery for my kind mother,
I promise colors and aroma of the delicate flowers.
