Racing from silence to silence,
Have you ever lived?
In the quiet of dead and the dead of quiet
Has life ever renewed?

I give you a list of things dead-
winters, mirrors, the quiet,
You, eating away in solitude
In the dead of the night

No surer is dead than one
Bereft of words and speech
For thinking alone gets nothing done;
Pondering doesn't teach

Then let life renew your roots,
Undo the knots in your tongue-
To learn, to pray, to admire, to teach
Old virtues left unsung.

Let me stay for a while
Don't make me go
Even the fall gives some time
To the leaf and bough

Let me trace back my path
To the places I've been
Let me find all that
I left unseen

Let me relive those smiles
And the bruises all;
Let me rise again
Then let me fall

I won't ask for long,
Take my vow-
Just let me stay for a while
Don't make me go.

Night shall not last long
Dawn shall break one day
Dark shall go with all its gloom
And light shall stay
One day, the fetters shall break
And free souls shall roam
One day, our feet shall rest
And wanderers come home
Joy shall take over grim
And blessed be fortune
It will not take long
That day will come soon.

Silence sentenced
Truth to death;
Apathetic, the just's justice
Yet again, prejudice won.

Seasons.

When brown, crisp leaves are falling down
And a golden carpet covers the lawn
Grieve not the leaves are dying in vain
But see! Summers will come again

When winters get freezing cold
And you see no one to hold
Remember the warm hues of summer
That shall hold you warm forever

When winter's gone and spring has come
And you see birds sing and hymn
Cherish that you've come a long way
And the wait is finally going to pay

Then long, long cherished summer's here
The beautiful summer you hold so dear
Everything comes to life again-
And behold! It was worth the pain.

Sans Merci

What in my heart might win of life
"La Belle sans merci", said Keats
Oft turning, cruel, overflowing strife-
Cornered, the meek goat bleats

And bleat all honoured, honest men
In the barony of insincere;
Who orphaned virtue's mighty pen
So just- truant, nay see, nor hear

Then pray my heart be Oliver's;
Where hope and truth doth dwell
A Wordsworth world for commoners
For each foul, a new rebel

So mercy reigns as God's plan-
And blesses twice, man and man.

Till life explains
and I get the gist;
Death and I lie
separated by the mist.

A deeper thought is a deeper self
which men do in ages attain;
And never does wisdom dawn
Without misery, toil and pain.
