On the "World of Limitation"


What Sadness

Weights my soul with anguish

For freedom from this faltered form!

 

What Dreams are these ⸺

What reveries? ⸺

Of passing Time,

Or Time unmoved passing?

 

What Sadness weights my soul?

 

What Hunger

Drives me relentless preying

Upon the echo bones of yore?

 

I search:

Dead men’s musings ⸺

A legacy of Grief! ⸺

These Sadness thoughts.

 

Will I find the answers

That my fathers sought?
