You ask me - hey traveller, where is your home?
Do you ask a lotus where it comes from?
Deep waters and mire matter no more It rises to skies untouched and sole.
You ask me - hey traveller, where will you go?
Do you ask a wild seed where it will fall?
Roots and stems matter no more
It rises to skies detached and sole.
You ask me - hey traveller, can I come along?
For few moonlit nights, we'll share this road Loss and gain will matter no more Once each departs on a path of his own.
