a new dawn

I need to stop the hours

that limit arrival.

There is still a long way to go…

One life is missing...

The one I dreamed of

and wasted

asking to wait for me.

*

Now she asks for calm

and my afflicted soul is disheartened,

in resistance to the laws of existence.

*

I haven't finished my dance,

nor have I gone where emotion reaches.

I didn't pick the flower from the mountains

I didn't even drink spilled water,

*

I did not become salt of the earth,

I didn't enjoy the good in life.

But time doesn't give a leash.

I fall asleep.

Restlessness watches over me.

Tomorrow I start again.
