An Ode to My Epiphany.
And since we’ll soon be on our ways
Dream of breeze that touch your face
Be brave to get drenched in the rain
Count the efforts, even ones in vain
I’ll try being the man you’d admire
Maybe at the end I’d sigh with despair
In some days I'd look into my mind,
Fish for keepsakes, some memorial kind.
You’ll fly high by then, in the clouds
As a skylark through the misty shrouds
Or on some mountain, an ancient tree
Who sees the world with its own gravity
I’ll slowly, maybe unknowingly, take my seat
Under the shadow cover which boast of feat
I’ll sink deep in sleep, forget where and when
In hope I never see the world again,
And I hope I never see the world again.
| Ancient trees, come hither. |
