The Hunt
A hunger of knowing is possessing me,
And a shadow in a maze is leading me,
To a fading face I almost forgot,
While leaving the mirrors broken on the way.
I am hunting a soul of a child.
And along the run the child is not saying,
While the mirrors are broking on the way.
I could have shouted or cried,
But I do not know the name of the young.
So I stop in an unknown road at the maze,
And speak to the me that hunt:
“What do you hunt? And why do you do so?”
While the mirrors at both sides are broking.
A moment of silence conquers the corner,
And the me is not able to give the respond.
But a voice answers in urgency:
“ To the me you’re searching”
The child then turns,
and what do I see is a vision of me on the broken mirrors.
I am hunting my innocence in the maze of my adulthood.
