You came silently in the dark with a lone lamp
While united we watch the stars in the sky
Beaming back and forth in the world’s eye
Like a mirror reflecting a mirror
These shadows which live on a watery surface
Are memories of that same light which fills the night sky
The same wind stirs the silence of trees as crickets chirp
Here and there where comrade lived on yonder shore
While silhouettes fade as the world sleeps in the darkness of time
A boatman waits to take you and me across the stream of death
To the other bank of life where the garb is shed
You and the self will fade on that yonder shore
Let these words take birth in the world of verse
As poets and men keeping reading them on yonder shore
Never again will we be strangers there
In that world in the womb of a dead world.
