I know you

as the flower knows its fragrance

as the water knows its taste

I know you

as the earth knows to take in water

and the water knows to get into the earth

I know you

as the flower knows its fruit

its seed

I know you

as the winds know the monsoon clouds

as the clouds know the thirst of the earth

I know you

as the words know their meaning

I know you

as the earth knows Nature’s seasons

as the seasons that know their fruits, flowers, crops

I know you

as the rain that knows its insects

moths

I know you and I save you

sometimes from your showers

sometimes from my winds

I know you

as the earth that knows its seed

and the seed that knows its earth

I know you

as the treetop knows its roots

and the roots know the tree’s nourishment

I know you

as the seeds smell their seasons

and the earth knows the anxiety of the seed

I know you

as the woman who experiences

the vibration of foetus becoming an infant

I know you

as the silence has its own words

as the vacuum has its meaningful echo

just the same way, I know you

I know you

as the soul knows the need for body

the body knows the happiness of soul

I know you

As I keep silent

as your love remains silent

in my soul
