The winds try in vain to blow off the light
And the waters thatched in the cold
Many lives passed through the eternal circle
Yet my soul fails to circumvent and make it past the folds
Â
I roamed aimlessly wandering through the shores
Had I been the wind or had I been a mere folklore?
My existence oscillated between there and now
I do not exist yet somebody called out for me, but how?
Â
I could be free, I could be unbound
My soul sighed in a relief forlorn
My skin was barely sticking to the bones
I had been a memory, long forgotten yet recently born
Â
The voice grew louder and incessant
And it raked the skies and the moons
Sending across a reverberating shiver
That etched on the empty abysses and sand dunes
Â
A cold and starry night raked the horizon
For the blood-soiled land sprouted with emotions
Anger, hate, gloom and envy shot up like weed
While love, joy, empathy and awe were shunned
Â
I grinned and cackled as limbs sprouted out of a meatball
Beaten and defeated, that wasn’t what you could see now
The monster doesn’t lurk under the bed anymore
For we are one, and we shall make the world bow
…now that you’re here
