Without
A morning passed me without me knowing
or I passed it without me seeing
"I have no nose to my face for the rose"
they said, without a second glance
my heart was broken more times
than I can do arithmetic or counting
No one told me I was born to die
they did mention the wrinkle in my eye
Without mercy and grace
there goes all the beauty I desired
was mine, without a thought
the day has passed with a blink of my eye
now tired and wrinkled
I dare not look into the sky
the moon shines above, reminds that-
I ride home a lone and a wild
Breeze kept carrying whispered shuns
kept me drifting into the wilderness
whence I was lost before
and again later in the day
My wary knees and restless soul
can't carry me anymore
for the remainder of the day
reminded me of the burden,
told me to remain
and rest under a tree
rest of the night, till the morning comes
or till my breath is stolen away
