Like water untasted and a treasure wasted

I reached the spot where children were laughing
Echoed  and shared wondrous screams of joy
Paradise in one single drop from their hands
I  begged dandelion dust blown from their lips
For the flight that never asks where it should go


And then I saw people so old crying
Bitten by the snakes rattling like death toy
Saw the wound so deep that understands
The toll sound of salvages and the sunken ships
And there was nothing else to know

I stood there for long forlorn stood between
Like a song unheard and the growth unseen
