I was struck <br />With a reality bolt <br />If I were destined to write just one line <br />What would I choose? <br />That I rested within the borders of pent up dreams <br />Or the stars advanced to meet words in the summer sky <br />Better still the quite descended and silence was eloquent <br />But I, noisy like the world, spun a web of unreal perfections <br />Hoping to reach the Beautiful One <br />What should I write? <br />But that my spirit is one with the sun and I’ve nowhere to go <br />That I spoke to the lamp post on my return from the tavern of delight <br />Or the treasure house of words is bare and no longer do I write <br />For I have yet to see the gate keeper of light. <br /> <br />Baru Gobira 2010<br /><br />Baru Gobira<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-destined-to-write-just-one-line/
