029. We Endeavour All Our Lives



We dreamed heaven together on this Earth,
Heaven in each other’s arms, lips to lips,
Your bosoms joyously pressing on my chest
And heartbeats like hammer pounding together
While my hands probing all delicate curves
That made you prettiest girl in all worlds
And you swooning in joy in my loveful arms;
But, alas, what man weaves, nature does bereave,
Our dreams, what we cared, were all laid bare
And we lay on opposite shores of the life’s stream,
Staring across to shores with eyes full of tears,
Shattered indeed we are, and shattered our dreams.

I see you all alone in hideous wilderness,
Stripped of light and lilt, stripped of joy, cadence,
That makes life, life, and you frozen to the fate;
No signs of life in you, though alive indeed you are,
And that itself adds salt to my soul’s cracks;
I made right signs to spur you back to life,
But no more you look across to the opposite shore,
Crying for our fate that dragged us so apart;
Sinking am I in this shore in my own grief,
I long to find signs that you are back to life;
But years are gone by and hopes are fading out,
Eyes are losing sight, other shore is blurring now.

You certainly are aware, similia similibus curantur;
The fate that dragged us apart for no valid cause,
Why not unite us back without another cause?
This is the only glimmer I hold in my blind world,
And I breathe and live days to see the wonder come,
However far be the day, I wait in all patience;
Indeed that wonder-world is out of right time,
But time and thrills of life are not the dreams we have;
Wherever, however we be, we belong to each other
And we belong always as one in our own abode;
This is our dream, hopes, the prize of all struggles,
This is for what we struggle, endeavour all our lives.
