On an arousing night I sleep,
I dream; embark on a trip
Through bare blue sky,
Where stars won’t blink
Neither wink nor stare;
The sky pale ‘n shy
I sit on her lean silken cloud sailing by
I know not where,
I know not it doesn’t tell me why!

My mind looks behind sailing, to see
The trails I left this far life sour ‘n sweet,
Friends ‘n foes love ‘n hate all roles I played;
Roles excelled those miserably failed
Games lost ’n won break evens gained;
I look ahead ‘n shudder to think
To where my journey is, to where I’m led…

I feel heavy; my carry gets slow
Drifts down; I lean to see the ocean below
The sea of love for life, shores either side,
The silvery waves down beckoning me,
My mind goes after my boundless thirst,
Runs after this mirage, gets tired sweat wet,
More drained; inside insatiable remains…

Ending my journey ending my dream
My mind awakens me; the cloud resigns…
