As such I once started
my way that I wander:
on bare feet.
Open wounds gash deep
on these heels:
onto the knuckles
of each stone has remained
out of these a little of blood.
- But as how I started my journey,
I shall also conclude it:
on bare feet.
Even then, when the pain
cuts deepest,
I exclaim:
- It is good like this. -
May Your wish happen,
my Destiny,
and not mine.
by Finnish poet Uuno Kailas (1901-1933) transl. by Erhard Lang
