sometimes i am a lonely little poem

sometimes I am a lonely little poem

 

 

sometimes i am a lonely little poem

that no one reads

and i fall into a heap

in the bottom of a bird cage

 

sometimes i grow wings.

silly little man

 

 

you silly little man

how you grovel at my feet!

adore my image

while you bury your loved one

in the pyramid of your desire,

do not try to buy my favors

with your shiny little prayers

do not walk on water

and sell your soul,

don't torment yourself

with words that will never come to you,

I am no bride

to lie down by your side,

I am a poem,

your hard-hearted lover.

softly

 

 

when the dead of winter

falls

heavy on the ground

the silence of my being

mocks me with awareness

and the wind howls

with delight,

a New Year will enter

another page of history

and softly will end

this night.

 

 

Much love, health, abundance and joy to my HarshSatsangh Family,
