Retrospective reflection


Ashes of wishes

Time
To stop
Building castles in the air
To destroy them
Again and again
Until the lesson has penetrated
Into every cell of his marrow
Until it gives him an erect body
Until it is learnt
Thoroughly

He keeps paying dearly
For the night
He imagined
Vainly
Pride
Was hurt
Lesson was learnt
Yet
The harbour is
Still not burnt
Down
Setting fire every evening
Ripping shrieking thoughts off
Trying
To comprehend the feeling
Meaning
Going round in circles
Thinking
Millions of times
Just searching
A way to comprehend the
Feeling
Meaning
Going round in circles
Thinking
Millions of times
Just searching
A way to comprehend the
Feeling
Meaning.

Understanding the Leper
Understanding the Other
Understanding the Normal
Understanding the Rational
Understanding the Impossibility
Understanding the Impassivity

Yet here he is
Trying
To comprehend the emotion
And meaning
Going round in circles
Thinking
Millions of times
Just searching
The explanation for the
Intuitive feeling
That gives him more
Than the rational
Reasoning

Without the wish
Without the need 
For
Start or ending
Thoughts are there
Complete and inciting.
