I found bondage
Which fills the lives of men
With misery and distress
And floods their dreams
...
Be silent, my heart
For the world cannot comprehend
The depth of your cries and desires
And the deafening silence of your aloneness.
...
I have doubted the truth of my undertaking a thousand fold
I moved from the shadows of my ignorance
And was blinded by the light of truth
The reality of my life was naught but plain imagery
...
It is not that I did not love you
But my love was intertwined with self doubt and self deceit
I cared
I hope you realize that
...
Tis a thought, this one is
Of great moments and fine splendours of life
Of mysteries unsolved
And promises unkept.
...
The infinite plurality that surrounds me
The totality of existing things
The knowledge of endless possibilities
Has kept me in a state of wonder.
...
For crying out loud
For my selfish demands
The pain of my birth
And the turmoil of my upbringing
...
Peace be with you, oh life
Through whose fulfillment
Lies hope and aspiration.
...
I watched a dove die
And was mesmerized by the image
Stared at the rupture of peace
And innocence
...
I love you for your sincerity
The naivety of your action
And the humility of your thought
...
