Wandering around and not knowing
To where and why
Land, far or near
The distance, counting, counting
Passing through all the bitter seas
What to see and what to say
Wandering around
Distance is endless, endless
The man trapped in beliefs like a fishing net
Aground and silent
Has spun the fishing net on everything except than the fish
Trying in vain
Captured in the land
Incarnation of the absurd
Useless, useless
Land forgives and embraces
Forgives and then takes away
It joins and separates
Intertwined everything inside, dumb and timeless
To the infinite distance
I am remained, standing, standing...
