Inside the shadow's shadow

0 posted 2003-06-05 03:53 PM


No one knows
Just why the wind blows
Or where it goes
When it's gone.
No one knows the answers
To my constant questions,
My babbling confusion.

No one knows this pain
This constant pounding of my lungs
And my heart is bleeding, pouring...
Too many people've pricked it.

And in the night when all is still
I take a breath and pray at will
That tomorrow will never reach its dawn
As an unborn fawn
Thrown away.

And when today is gone
And tomorrow has not come
I'll think of you
As I always do
And wish you were with me
To whisk me away
Into the dawning day
And dying night.
And together we will be
One last night
That lasts
Forever.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
--Chang Tzu
