Never understood this world,
Never understood myself.
The ideal life I chased so long,
What was it anyway?
Was there anything to be understood?
Was understanding ever meant to stay?
I wanted to cry, and I cried.
Watched the whole world pass by,
The sunset and the sunrise.T
he tears that smudged the ink
On a forgotten sheet of paper
Barely spoke my insides.
You were alone, so was I.
We were alone, yet — we were
Together in shared separateness.T
he air that weaved connection
Of the lungs and the same trees,
Showered by the closest star.
The limited pulses – well known,
Lost in time of an immortal heart.
In the blink of an eye,
When hours passed,T
he pleasures blew in sand,T
he pain became the hourglass,
Gradually falling, as I was.
Were they ever separate?
I wonder how far apart.
Tired in my head,
The body afloat on a silent lake.
The nostrils signalled the mind
Of secretly blooming daffodils.T
he rustling wind brushed
The numbness off my cold skin.
The eyes couldn't bother,
Fixed on the vast screen,
While the passing leaves whispered:
"The moon is beautiful, isn't it?"
