The journey is the real deal,
reaching its end is just
a collateral benefit,
if you go through it,
the one that left home
is not the same as the one
who just returned.
Isn't this the aim,
the name of the game,
that the one I am today
is different, even better,
than the one I've been
yesterday.
Such an ugly word,
yesterday, got all our
crushed hopes in it,
almost as bad as tomorrow,
can't shake that sorrow,
looking back or forward
will make us blind to the
multiple options that
are around us right now.
Go,go,go!
Never stoop so low,
never feel that bad
even if the worst thing
that you did is known
around the world,
no not be ashamed
of yourself, you are not
some elf on the shelf,
chit-chat, that little fat duck
looking like an angel,
you are not in danger
of losing yourself, chief,
do not be that stiff,
always look ahead, but do not forget
about the oil from the tea spoon,
is will tell you soon,
about the wise man story,
and the glory of seeing
all the wonders, from all the rooms,
without losing what you got in the spoons.
It was in the Persian empire
swords for hire,
when the two of us
listened to that parable
for the first time.
No crime is bigger
than forgeting to take care
of yourself, on behalf
on that stubborn calf
that was borrowed by
the poor carpenter
when we were on our way back
from the hidden school.
It was cool for a bit,
we even had time to sit
and listen to the words,
no more swords, no more crows,
it was all good until we invented the bows,
bow before me,
and see the raw power,
never be lower than
the One in charge,
the creater of this universe,
no verse is so close
to explain
why I am in pain
right now.
I cannot even bow,
even if my shoulders are heavy
even if I did not touch the gravy
in a long time, that one dime,
penny for your thought,
was that just my cough?
We were suppose to last
as long as the stars borrow
our inner light,
That was a sight
to behold, it is cold
right now, and the blow
of the wind put us in a bind.
Too late to be kind,
said that Father Time.
Well, I miss my aim,
nobody to blame,
we are all the same,
you and me,
you see,
I try not to cry,
time to say goodbye!
