Do You See Me
Do you see me ..
I grab a chord of air as if it was a violin
Approach pulsating swarms
Of cackling birds
As I move toward the horizon of my joy
As the skyline lies down in the distance
I lie down on the gravel
And the water flows over me
The wind strikes my solitude
And the sun burns my face
Do you see me ..
Where are you, where ..?
Behold the night's veil, it flows;
And the soul wanders between ice
Sometimes between dewdrops
Telling the lonely star of hope
Behold I am abiding here like water
A mirror of attendant memory
Concealed behind
Echoes of childhood
Ah, how heavy my throat
Of a thousand Ahs
If you come back ..
I'd follow bees to their flowers
And birds to their nests
My soul but a star
Whirled between ice and dew
Do you see me ..
Here I am inscribing
An ultimatum of torments
The first and last chapters of my life
So forget me ..
I am but a night dream
I'm but the shadow of Mirrors
But a spectrum of phantoms
Passed once in dreams.
