Time To Go

Godot had been waiting for a penultimate eternity

he had been sitting on a gossamer of misperception

like the epitome of Rodin’s thinker falling into sleep


he had to admit that the Gordian knot had opened

but only to tie the rope around his stretched neck

maybe he had not read the script carefully enough


if the mountain does not reach out for the prophet

he had to move and flee from the surreal scene

a bit incensed by the change of overpowering shift


when he tied his legendary suspense to the scaffold

the trap door opened a whole new and brave world

finally he had arrived at the portal of permanence

Thought provoking one Kai. It is always when we tend to move out of that familiarity that we encounter the wonders of surreal unknown. :) Best wishes!
