On an arousing night I sleep
Dream; embark on a trip through bare blue sky
Where stars won’t blink
Neither wink nor stare she pale ‘n shy
I sit on her lean silken cloud sailing by
I know not where
I know not it doesn’t tell me why!
My mind looks behind to see
The trails I left this far life sour ‘n sweet,
Friends ‘n foes love ‘n hate all roles I played
Roles excelled those miserably failed
Games lost ’n won break evens gained;
I look ahead ‘n shudder to think
To where my journey to where I’m led…
I feel heavy; my carry gets slow
Drifts down; I lean to see the ocean below
The sea of love for life shores either side
The silvery waves down beckoning me
My mind goes after my boundless thirst
Runs after this mirage gets tired sweat wet
More drained; inside insatiable remains…
Ending my journey ending my dream
My mind awakens me; the cloud resigns…
