arrived light on earth
bereft of baggage,
lord sent me to roam the earth
free as a bird,
living like guest, without coveting.
but trapped in invisible nets
which I am unaware,
led on different paths,
with physical freedom deceptive,
chained by psychological hang overs.
I pick my stars
from among plenty in the sky,
searching dearly for missing one,
days together,
leaving what is in firmament.
I crave to make indelible marks,
but what I leave is footprints
on shores of sand,
washed away by tidal waves of time,
I am nothing, except to myself,
craving to fill my ego.
I understand others,
but myself,
thoughts ensnare.
caught in their network
breathe is conditioned,
heart beat is programmed.
