How long my candle life has burn,
Without cradle, with deep concern,
Its warmth aflame till late in night,
No star has matched by miles its sight.
How long I gazed beyond the stars
To find some meaning from afars,
Some simple mind to mirror mine,
To look into its eyes and shine?
How long I listened for the wind
To find my thoughts from flurries twined,
Embraced in storms without reason,
From spring to times without season?…
How long I bathed into the sea
And felt the waves fall above me;
I drowned a thousand time till now,
And I survived – I wonder how?…
How long I jumped from stone to stone
In mountains’ crest to build a home,
To feel much closer to the skies,
To find more truths and fewer lies?
How long my soul will feel astray
I hear its sigh from day to day,
Its echoes stir from dawns till dusk,
When I’ll be home, how long I ask?
