I Want Not – 01: The Vastness

I want not
that greatness of an ocean
that never touches the land
that never bathes
the dirt and dust
of the tiny landscape
born out of her,
brought up along with,
craves to be with her.

I want to be
just a pool to cater
to the needs of
my neighbours around
people, plants or animals
birds or ants,
fishes or snakes
Everyone there
who does gather.
