Fool: September 2009

Foolish mind wanders along
To catch a butterfly

Foolish words
Of a foolish mind
Striving hard
To find their meaning

The mad song
Of a mad mind
Trying to find a melody

The empty poem
Of an empty mind
Longing to fill in

Amidst the gush
Of the other river
The words got washed away
The song has drowned
The melody is absent
The meaning is lost
The poem in the words
Is missing

Hold on to some rock, words
Settle down in the river bed, song
Embed in the bottom, poem
Once the gush is over
I hope to find you

If not me, if not now
I shall ascend in peace
Knowing
That you have embedded yourselves
Deep down
Hoping
To find you
When I am born again
