MY LAST WISH

MY LAST WISH,
BEFORE MY LIFE’S LAST DISH,
IS TO BE FREE,
UNDER AN EVERGREEN TREE.

I WANT TO THINK OF MY PAST,
TILL MY BREATH LAST.
WANT TO THINK OF THOSE DAYS OF CHERISH,
BEFORE I MYSELF PERISH.

I WANT TO THINK OF THE DAY,
WHEN MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME HOW TO SAY.
OF THAT DAY,
WHEN I PICKED MY OWN WAY.

WANT TO THINK OF THE DAY I WENT TO DRILL,
AND MY BRAIN BEGAN TO FILL.
AND THEN I STARTED MAKING BUDDIES,
WHO PLAYED WITH ME AND ALSO HELPED ME IN STUDIES.

I WANT TO THINK OF THE DAY WHEN I MARRIED,
THE FAMILY MY BACK CARRIED.
THE DAY WHEN I BECAME FATHER,
THE FAMILY THAT INCREASED FARTHER.

THE DAY WHEN I WAS IN NEED,
THE TIME FEW FRIENDS CAME TO FEED.
THE DAY I CAME TO KNOW MY FRIENDS,
AND OLD RELATIONS BEGAN TO END.

(THE DAY I WENT TO PILGRIMAGE,
AND MET MANY DIVINE SAGE,
AND LIVED IN A LIFE OF SPIRITUALITY,
FORGETING MY LIFE OF VIRTUALITY.)

NOW I SIT UNDER A TREE SHADOW,
WRITING THIS TO YOU,
I HOPE IT WOULD NOW SNOW,
AND THE SKY BE BLUE.

AND THUS I WOULD LIKE TO SLEEP,
FOREVER,
AND NEVER,
CONTENT BY MY LONG LIFE.

……..AMEN………
