Do not
Escape Me O Dear Life (part 2)
And
my song shall faded gone;
When
the night comes…..
But
my hearts talks at silent pass;
In
arms of a child; and walks in tongues,
As
life and death have become—
Too
parallel than one of a kind,
And
days shine too little to the darkest heart and eyes;
Without
calm; as ages of metaphysical gone in faded smiles,
And
minds of peoples have become too closer with Science…
But
does religion define us when selfish ones had become?
Does
life know our own? Or does, when silent gone?
Or
does my song faded gone when the night comes?
Or
does soul escape us in illicit palms?
Or
broken as clouds faded in distant thunders?
And
so long my person does,
Do
not escape me in wanders…
Do
not escape me O dear life!
Purify my heart, clean and pure— like colors;
Of the rainbow, dreams come true,
Like matters of the heart and all I knew,
Come to my heart let me stay with you,
Protect my soul under the sky so blue;
Shine your light, as I walk but through,
Shine
my life, as I talk to you…
