I shall be back
Green leaves twist in the breeze
Lingering to turn golden
Riches lie unopened
And treasures that embolden
Words stir in unknown psyches
Waiting to erupt
Wishes blend in here and there
Impatient to be born
The lofty stairs look inviting
Winding up the stories
Many accesses stay tightly locked
Hoarding everlasting mysteries
Roads that haven’t been sped upon
By virtue of reticence
Countless minds that haven’t convened
Because of rational fences
Those fences will fall
And roads will broaden
Then words will fill oceans
And doors swing open
It’s only a few days of crossing
From this land to that
Fulfilling desires of many births
Laying on the prayer mat
I am on that journey now
Only to be back
This is not my very first
Neither will it be my last
Green leaves twist in the breeze
Lingering to turn golden
Riches lie unopened
And treasures that embolden
Words stir in unknown psyches
Waiting to erupt
Wishes blend in here and there
Impatient to be born
The lofty stairs look inviting
Winding up the stories
Many accesses stay tightly locked
Hoarding everlasting mysteries
Roads that haven’t been sped upon
By virtue of reticence
Countless minds that haven’t convened
Because of rational fences
Those fences will fall
And roads will broaden
Then words will fill oceans
And doors swing open
It’s only a few days of crossing
From this land to that
Fulfilling desires of many births
Laying on the prayer mat
I am on that journey now
Only to be back
This is not my very first
Neither will it be my last
