I wish I had one wish today

So I would give myself away
...

How barren is this water?
How barren this land
Deep in the depths of its heart
How flourishing! Its barren sand
...

I was away a day; a day or few
Away with my body; with my soul
Trying to pluck the flowers of Happiness
In the garden of Eden; they call the World
...

In stillness of cold
Bare feet, heavy chest
I stood for long
My lashes crossed
...

No more does anything exist
No more life is in my wrist
Time that life had held so tight
No more flies with its flight
...
