pregnant hills
would not deliver the stream
to moisten my dry garden
i know this
and yet
i wait
for the volcanic eruption
which will swallow all the restraints
and put at rest
the aspirations of those stones
which i had gathered from the road
so that when you walk on it
they dont hurt your feet
now these stones have given up
all the fire which could have led the volcano to erupt
has quietened
dont look for smouldering fire
in these heap of stones
there are silent spectators
and road is unwilling to accept
and thus continues to wait
walk over it when it is possible, even if a few steps
only
