Life was a celebrated journey
Attune to the dark and dense symphony
Of love and sharing
Within my kingdom of abundance
Invading new paths through
the bushy moon lit meadows
The pungent smell of my beloveds
waiting in the dense shades
Trying myriad essence of leaves
Listening the soothing sirens of
the vibrant steps of seasons
Splashing in hidden cascades
Festive of pure air and water
Singing freedom.

Now the agonizing journey drags
life through blistering roads
piercing and thrashing
for we are your proud icon 
Of festivals and fairs
Trapped within your ego and cruelty
my wounds and bruises are
confined like my tears
in the sobbing heart
from you the sentient
human beings.
