Impalpable

I wish I could write

the history of the inner lives

of humans’ conditions—

hidden motivations

and deep-seated intentions.

Life appears outside,

creating an illusion,

never affirm complete truths and ultimate revelations.

Headwaters

and the course the river takes

decide its taste.

Seabed causes—

the waves and the currents on the surface

and not the stone pellets always.

Never let your potential

and the strength of conscience

compromise and die,

to keep your head high.

You never know the reason

for pale and withered leaves

until you examine the roots and seeds.
