i think it’s time
to set aside
the notion that i must.
devotion to a trust that i
should, could, or would
if just...
the notion that i am, i can't
i won't, will always be
the stories that i wrote and wove
......
Going, going, going
Always going
But never gone
I keep on looking
Darkest dawn
Always close
Waning brawn
Knees are shaky
But keeping on
......
The clock strikes four;
I’m never like before;
I’ve learnt to take life’s drink
Up to the lees from the brink;
Multiple layers of joy
......
O mother, I'll make you proud,
O mother, I say it loud!
O mother, bear with me for a while,
O mother, have to walk just another mile.
O mother, father has got old, I know,
O mother, and you remain rather low;
O mother, fatigue is what you always hide,
O mother, your sacrifices, I'll never put aside.
......
No more will I make life freeze;
I will enjoy my life up to its lowest lees.
Life is short; it is precious;
Life can't stand with things malicious.
Why shouldn't I, why shouldn't I?
Soar with wings up in the sky?
Aye, I do love to dream;
Like the stars, I don't gleam,
But I will shine, shine, for sure;
The more will I shine, the more endure.
......
I didn’t make much noise.
Didn’t keep score.
Didn’t ask the world to pause
While I stitched my wounds.
I just kept walking,
Step after step,
Between faith and fatigue.
Worries came,
As they always do.
......
There is, there must be
Ample light at the end of
The tiring tunnel.
No more will I make life freeze;
I will enjoy my life up to its lowest lees.
Life is short; it is precious;
Life can't stand with things malicious.
Why shouldn't I, why shouldn't I?
Soar with wings up in the sky?
Aye, I do love to dream;
Like the stars, I don't gleam,
But I will shine, shine, for sure;
The more will I shine, the more endure.
......
The clock strikes four;
I’m never like before;
I’ve learnt to take life’s drink
Up to the lees from the brink;
Multiple layers of joy
......
Never feel fatigued,
For there is more to explore
Always in this world.
