The Echo Returns Not

My mind is calm. My senses are composed. To all kinds of responses, I'm disposed. Why, my soul, that flew like a boomerang Gets stuck within vines that, like coiled snakes, hang Is my soul glad there while I wail in pain? What, for my long life herein, do I gain? Within new blooms, my soul might take shelter. Is my body made to face mere welter?
