Jisike, you are the friend who chose to foldaway
Truth found us in the beginning
Its presence, unwelcome
Its garment of honour, invisible
The invitation to the unity of birth, void
But we tarried
We were nascent beings, volatile and transient
We stood always with hairs in the sky
If we have a date with truth tonight again
They will be rehearsing our beautiful songs
And you chose to travel
Truth will find us midway still
Truth will find us in the end
Those beautiful songs must sing themselves
Those dreams built on sand dunes will remain
Not to be buried in the cemetery of lost words
A straining to perceive the imperceptible – to gather what has been separated and perhaps lost. Stunning.
…And the stretchy effort to preserve what’s left.
Thanks!
Your work is so well crafted, the word choice so precise and perfect. I love the ‘cemetery of lost words’ and general sense of sadness and loss. Beautiful.
Thank you, Davita.
