A thorny way
Leads to a sacred place,
Full of secrets
Of the mind, worn out and gone astray,
Caught in the web of thoughts,
Sick of the same routine.
Giant shapes all around
Are the signs from wasted past lives,
And from the shores unfound
For the seas that are all frozen now.
When we are torn between
Two worlds, trying hard to choose
Wisdom or staying insane,
We end up split in two
Unconsciously, and we lose
The life spirit within us.
Those shapes remind
Of the past lives lived in vain,
Of the shores that no one will ever find
For the seas that remain frozen.
The darkness covered this place with a foggy veil
And gave a deadly glare
To one more soul that feels derailed,
There's no end to this nightmare.
Pieces of me are trying
To abandon me trapped in a boat
That won't float.
