Wish to Be Obtained



Wish to Be Obtained
A wish to sleep – an overwhelming realm,
From which its place reality attains;
A living creature, who to grow is still,
Pretending that it encompass’ disdain.

And such indulgence may be yet to spread
Upon the surface all that’s deep involved:
The realm – the creature – who of them be led
Will in the draw which burning is so cold?..

Be conscientious in the playful game –
The key, they say, to relevance release:
Is one to see, who bears proud name
Of Ruler-Master, riding every glimpse?

An answer’s wisheddesired but the Quest
Like horse of mouth is so black, untamed:
An overwhelming realm for it – the best,
And what’s like that is there to be obtained!..
