A woman with a lantern I passed on the trail
Searching for her soul mate, she said
- Surely not more than a mile away. |
Just a mile, not such a pity
Why then the mournful look and the veil?
|
Multiply, Sir, the mile with all the days, months
and years, we so far been apart.
Many lanterns' glimmer afar
Few moments without trialing unrest
|
A lifetime she dragged in her path.
In her lantern I could see
The now, the future and the past
|
A mile long existence
Sprained by my inquisition
Unveiled by her persistence
Yet, we were both in the dark
|
A lantern enlightened two souls
A beacon of eternity passed between two kindred minds.
