Let me be a footbridge in your garden
bend my spine over the hazel waters
fraught with blinking eyes of lilies
and coated by the scruffy beards
of rustling bushes
\Let me anchor my arms and feet
in the damp soil of muddy shore
and be one with the landscape that enchants you
\Immobile and immovable
Never shall I leave you canvas
so long as you promise
I will be your life-long inspiration
