Heaven that cannot be reached

Unspoken word  

Truth in darkness  

Light that cannot chase it  

Sweetness that cannot be tasted  

Heaven that cannot be reached  

Within this prison of imagination  

Man encloses himself  

A thousand meanings for freedom  

Is man a wonder? Or a wreck?  

Sight unseen  

Thought unknown  

Goal unattained  

Desire unending  

Within this cage of mind  

Man entangles himself  

In the name of liberation  

Is man a riddle? Or the answer?  

Voice unheard  

Language unclear  

Fire unquenched  

Path unknown  

Within this field of thought  

Man hides himself  

Chasing the meaning of life  

Is man a dream? Or illusion?  

Touch unfelt  

Feeling unknown  

Peace unattained  

Sorrow unending  

Within this fortress of heart  

Man encloses himself  

Hearing the cry of freedom  

Is man a shadow? Or a trial?  

Air ungrasped  

Burden unbearable  

Victory unattained  

Failure unending  

Within this net of life  

Man entangles himself  

Dreaming of liberation  

Is man a hero? Or a fall?  

Shore unseen  

Ocean unreached  

Wave unending  

Desire unquenched  

Within this whirl of thought  

Man circles himself  

Seeking the path of freedom  

Is man a journey? Or a fear? 

Beginning unknown  

Ending unfinished  

Memory unending  

Dream unquenched  

Within this cage of time  

Man encloses himself  

Searching for the door of freedom  

Is man truth? Or metaphor?
