Footfalls / Abu Karim
Walk over grass in soft
steps lest dew drops should drop down.
Roam in forests with a great care lest
drops of water on arum leaves should
roll down on ground.
If your footsteps sound to be threats
on ground, the tender self of soil may be
shocked. Dry leaves should not be
smashed under your feet
because for the artistic fall
of dry leaves every tree heaves a sigh.
Listen to that sigh with rapt attention,
listen to the scream of wind blowing
through forest.
try to enjoy the unlimited exposure
of nature with all your senses.
