There is a glimmer of hope
I hoped not to find
For the search is far better
Than the end.

Now, the longing is over.
The wait has ended.
Oh, bright shadow!
My heart remains unsettled.

Cover my eyes,
Close my mouth,
Put your hands on my ears
And take me to the far South.

The place I don't know,
Where many died in the journey,
Where many suffered in heartbraking defeat,
Until the relieving thump of the final heartbeat.

And leave me there,
Where time stills with me,
Hoping not to find out,
Hoping to just be.



For those who don't know where to go...
