A leafless tree,
With endless roots
Aimless growth
Mindless pursuits
What's the fate of a passing day?
Will night fall?
Who knows?
Still unnerved
The eyes look for,
A certain tomorrow
An image obscure
Wishful thoughts galore!
Deep below the leafless tree
The roots hold on
To mud and nothing
Still in search,
Of a spring,
Deep down within
On way back
To an abandoned home
Directions merge
In circuitous maze
Which path to take?
Drops of sweat and shiver
Mind oscillates,
Between never and forever
With endless roots
Aimless growth
Mindless pursuits
What's the fate of a passing day?
Will night fall?
Who knows?
Still unnerved
The eyes look for,
A certain tomorrow
An image obscure
Wishful thoughts galore!
Deep below the leafless tree
The roots hold on
To mud and nothing
Still in search,
Of a spring,
Deep down within
On way back
To an abandoned home
Directions merge
In circuitous maze
Which path to take?
Drops of sweat and shiver
Mind oscillates,
Between never and forever
