The mind said
Keep your day out
So that you may sleep
And keep day and night out
While all the memories churn
Like the sleepless sea
And come up with dreams
That no fiction can replicate
I have befriended in my exile
Learnt the names
My ancestors gave them
Count time by their seasons
Remain their secret admirer
Exult in their spring
Grieve when they litter
Delight at the green canopy
Against the blue sky
Smile at their shadows
Lovelier than their blossoms ----
May they weather all their storms
And outlast all the temples of kings.
