The pursuit is in vain
the journey a fantasy
to my inner sanctum I should return
where resides the true me-
everywhere is the clamour
' this is the true philosophy
do not walk in error
this will set you free'
the public well is poisonous
drinking therefrom leads to malady
give me the pure rain-water
it will keep me healthy--
alone in the deepest silence of night
untainted by the voice of rude humanity
with the moon and stars as company
I am content and blessed in my serenity.
