a poem

fifty years

from now

we’ll sit and talk of today

just me and you

when we were young

when we were free

hand in hand

just you and me

fifty years of loving

fifty years of joy

running together

over those white clouds

fifty years of running

never watched the steps

never thought of falling

we were always on the rise

what could push us back?

what could stop us?

those chains that we torn apart?

that cultured that we betrayed?

we vaporized our bodies

to join the H2O molecules

floating in the air

above all the concepts and thoughts

we dematerialized our logic

so that our feelings could explode

with the bodies, so naked that

you couldn’t see

fifty years from now

looking down at our bodies

woven together in dust

in pity

fifty years from now

we have rained thousand times

vaporized and melted away

in this circle of life

happily we had lost our way
