— Until That Land —
..
I left the night like a ghost
Long have I worshipped a dead home
This leaking hut is too cold
.
Counting flying comets at night
Telling no stories at twilight
Breathing no hope at midnight
Shall my heart
Soon bid farewell
.
Men are warning in souls
Weaker days are mourning—
Yet,
I have unlocked no ear
To every bloody caution
Until I feet on a land—
welcoming my shadow. . .
.
I shall cross my world
By land and by sea
New cosmos. . .
I yearn to see—
..
I have made this journey with heart
Yet there is a crossroad
Tearing me apart
O' Spirit within
The left is void— Night is due
I have swum in sweat for moon
..
I taste no good breeze
I see no stars twinkling
O' Spirit within—
The eyes, the ears, the feet
shall bear my quest a witness on this moon
For I,
Shall ripple like a river
Until that land...
