Murshid

I burn within the fire,
Fireflies and Night decorating my Pyre
The waters of the River so full,
Carried by the waves
Sailing I know not, only clutch and pull.


Heart and soul caught in tug of war,
Empty words fill the Pain,
There exists no meaning in the ocean
Only dragged around in vain.


Vision obstructed by ugly Walls,
Confusion rules, mist and dust
The Path lies hidden out of sight,
Lead me to it, Open my Eyes.

The Sea Moans and Shrieks,
The Wind Stomps the ground,
Time blows away with the Sand;

Here I stand on the shore -
Darkness, Solitude.



Expanding Horizon hangs in the Gloom;
The waves lap Restless,
The dark water calls Relentless;

Sail the Unknown once again -
Alas ! There is no Boat.


I stand here on the Shore;
The Winds Strip me Bare,
The Sea shouts a solemn Prayer,

Time carried Afar by the waves -
Blind man without a Stick, Limping Alone in the Dark.
