Why am I unable to feel so fully,

Yet glimpse feeling it from afar,

In this earthly cradle,

Where the human mark is a scar!

What is then the purpose of emotion,

Once bound by a different devotion...

What is then of the people,

Contaminated and feeble?

(Has my hope finally tumbled?

I do not feel much humbled...)

I feel with the mind,

The most accurate guide once lost!

* * *

I have lost myself in me,

And found someone more,

For my body is my cage

And my soul has its cracks!
