At the End

The ultimate, unsung-
spreads out
and sails to oblivion.

I wanted to become 
you, in desperation,
clinging to a swan song.

The great wall-
of silence, built on sand 
still stands in hurricane.

Questions mate- 
behind the curtain.
The truth, stands naked on stage.

Nothing to declare 
now, I collect the pebbles
of childhood, hidden

from your eyes.
Locking the door behind,
I walk out to liberation.
