Renouncing

Move the steps, 
    to accept the dark. 
    Moon has abdicated the throne.

I am still trying to become. 
    Not becoming something. 
    A lot has remained?

unsaid in my small poems. 
    I am still trying, still trying 
    to decipher the life, to decipher.

The roots will know my pain. 
    My pain, why did I remained
    mute amidst the clamouring words ?

Tell me, why should it happen ? 
    Why should ? That someone jumps 
    in the boiling cauldron to find the truth.
