To My Friend
Vigil are my sleeps
Heedless my actions
Since the day you said goodbye
I’ve been a stranger to myself
My love for you lets you go
But my endeavor doesn’t rest
My friend,
When will my endeavor indulge?
My friend,
I’m standing here
On the shore of this vast restless ocean
With my patience breathing in
A deluge can’t wet it
Neither can a storm blow it away
The drought can’t dry it
Neither can the never ending waiting
But my friend,
This seashore is just like a dungeon
All so dark, silent and lonely
Don’t worry, I am not in perils
But my friend,
I am not safe either
When will you kindle the lamp and take me away?
My body will wear down
Immortal it can’t be
Don’t let the shroud of your absence cover it
My friend,
I see a vast ocean
A clear blue sky
But I do not see you
I see me
Only me
Standing on the seashore alone
My friend,
Where’s your boat?
I have been waiting too long
When will you sail me away?
