1. On a path lined with blossoming flowers
Where snakes lie coiled within

2. I walked like a fledgling trying to keep up
With its mother in descent and ascent

3. I walked, thirsty and hungry in soul and heart
A prisoner of visions, blind to the light

4. Inspired, I take what no human condones
In a world of little comfort

5. And around me are reckless beings
A scattered flock in the wasteland

6. Their blood and water is the hyena
And their principles are the slopes of the shepherd

7. Each a butcher, each a slaughtered sheep
In what resembles the coward’s startled heart

8. They rejected beauty, love and truth
And sided with evil and greed

9. Bloodthirsty, taking pride in the whip
When it’s stripped from the hand of the struggling

10. And if a flower were to bloom or a lovebird to sing
They would turn a deaf ear

11. Is it for this flock that I spend my days
And my long sorrowful nights are wasted?

12. Is it for those idols that I crush my life
And sing my crazed melodies?

13. Who gave me the cup of life and pictured
My soul with affectionate meanings?

14. Who cast me to the dust and destined
The sun to live imprisoned?

15. Who built the towering rebel in my soul
And its supreme horizons and stability

16. Then passions blew it away
Levelling its plains and saddening it

17. And the spider of death walked upon it
Usurping its days and years

18. A savage, destroying my dreams
To build his accursed ones

19. Is existence and death all we came for
Or is there a hidden wisdom?

20. Would that one in heaven take pity
And show me his light or conviction

21. Who am I, who will I be? What was I?
When did my existence begin?

22. What is after life? What is the purpose
Of the cycle? What preceded the beginning

23. Of the story?
It was He who created the worlds from dust

24. His greatest sign is existence
Then what is this silence, awareness and inability?

25. Darkness, confusion and blindness?
And doubts that weary my days

26. And show me my misguidance as guidance
And fate that prompts our steps

27. And takes us nowhere
And life passes between question and answer

28. Increasing my confused misguidance
And the captive escapes the shackles

29. Forgetting the beginning at the end
Then he sets out again

30. Like an episode without a ending
As if what passed did not happen

31. And the sinners repeat their sin
I was nothing before seeing the earth

32. Or was I something in the unknown?
I sleep and wake, walk

33. And feel life full in my hands
I come alive when I see the radiance

34. Of God revive my eyelids
And I sing what desire inspires my soul

35. And it responds to me
I complain when afflicted and sing

36. When existence seems clear before my eyes
I yearn for the morn and long

37. For the still, fragrant night
I live like others when among them

38. But when alone I become a prophet
I become something that perplexes the universe

39. An eternal obscure puzzle
I arouse suspicions until I see myself

40. An uprising that fills existence with echo
And I see the world, stained by injustices

41. An empty tomb of life
I yearn for life while my soul

42. Drinks death from the cup of life
I look to the sunset with an eye

43. That drew its light from the darkness
I welcome Spring with a numb heart

44. Arrested in its beats
I call upon heaven to witness

45. The calamities it rained on me
I'm heading for the mirage, farewell

46. Victims of thirst, martyr of the wasteland
I am going, fear me not, to my grave

47. Disturb not the residents of my remnants
Destroy my flowers and scatter

48. Their remains and mourn in the memorial’s wake
Crumble my temple and cast to the wind

49. My wreckage and scatter my songs
And if you remember me, recall my losses

50. My wandering, confusion and dispersal
Let me sleep, for it's time
