THE WALL OF TIME

 

Beseech the soul to escape forbidden,

Abundant pleasure, love heart smitten,

Inhale fresh air and, if a window permits,

Disappoints invisibility, mystery quits, (1)

 

Humans confined within four walls cry,

Impregnable the dungeon liberty defy,

The physical chains block movements,

Movable life amused thirsty, laments, (2)

 

Dreams aspiration aspersion a magic,

Materialize disappear illusions tragic,

The damsels serve delicately, cherish,

The confused state of mind, feverish, (3)

 

Beyond a glass wall, flower blossoms,

Distant mountain, sunrays awesome,

Golden hues upon dew pearl dictate,

Moist air, moisten glass walls, simulate, (4)

 

The bright sunshine, full moon, lotus,

Beyond the reach of the heart, focus,

Creation of paradise probes a motive,

For a time, life, a prisoner, attractive, (5)

 

Like the flower withers petals fallen,

Human courage fights failure swollen,

Fails to break the wall to run farther,

Met and misses kin father or mother, (6)

 

Left alone the chamber, still alluring,

The symphony of life, orchestra, sing,

A drama of brother, father, and love,

The candle goes off, curtain dissolve, (7)

 

Escape the soul and defeat, sublime,

Cycle of births, and the wall of time,

Clock rotates forward, hallucinates,

The glass wall, not fragile, vindicates. (viii)
