it is our duty <br />despite the pains inside our hearts <br />we still must <br />stand with dignity <br /> <br />the heart has its own <br />territory <br />its own chambers where <br />we keep our emotions <br />burning <br />carefully that these <br />may not burn us <br /> <br />we keep eye <br />on what is going to happen <br />to the future places <br />where we must <br />take rest <br /> <br />we are now living <br />under the most <br />ordinary sun <br /> <br />a common day <br />of our senses <br />as we go on touching <br />the body of life <br /> <br />now it is time <br />to land to keep <br />our wings folded <br />at our backs <br />as simply as i must <br />face you <br /> <br />under the white feathers <br />of my wings <br />my pure heart <br />shall sleep<br /><br />RIC S.
