Query in the Twilight Zone
Tell me
The priest
In the twilight zone of my life
What lies ahead of me?
There
Some where, I am going to go
After I sleep for the last time
On the multitude wrinkles on my face
Is written the epitaph of
My dreams and despair
My success and failure
My trip through the life
Like a leaf in the rapids
There you see all of me
A crying baby,
A rebellious child
A sensuous lover
A demanding father
A loving grand father
And the toils I did
For my kids and family
And
Shape my world as I thought it to be.
Still I don't know
What lies ahead of me?
What happens to me?
When I die
Where do I travel and how
Do I meet my friends?
Do I meet my forefather?
I am powerless
Toothless
Hairless
Still inside me
The emotions swell
Like ever lasting spring.
My stories are buried
by the sands of time
I am here
At the end of the road
Listening to the holy words
Waiting for your direction
To tell me
Where to go
and what to do
At the twilight zone of my life.
