How Long Will This Cryptic Miasma Endure ?
“How Long Will This Cryptic Miasma Endure ?”
Till the waking
the undisguised and undisclosed truth
will remain
the prisoner of our ineptitude
Till eyes have seen the reason for tears
till lips have tasted the motive for smiles
till we grasp the meaning
the secrets of living
not until then
my dear
Till we wake
and the new light will not shake our faith in the dark
when dawn sheds its ray and does not obliterate
our dreams
until we dance as we were meant to
through the gardens of our hearts
Till we see
my dear
with a vision that pierces our shadow
and reveals to us in its baneful fear
all the children we abandoned
waiting for us
there
Not until then
my dear
