TRUE PURPOSE


TRUE PURPOSE 

Draw me a.
Bridge
That I may 
In a whim
Cross it
Reaching 
The other side
Of here...

I am set
Ready to leave!

Out of time
My garments are
Made
Of cloth and paper
Straps.. .

They'll tell you
The tale
Of my long wait!

Upon my feet
I wear no heels
Just plain 
Sandals...

They've been worn
For a great long 
While
Thinned out by
The passage
Of timeless time!

Above my head
The skies have 
Turned
Many times over
Marking the many 
Rebirths 
Of Earth...

Still, I remain myself
Yet someone else!

So draw me
A bridge
That I might 
Cross it...

I tire, I weaken
Where you are
I too desire
To be...

Rested and content
Like you
Knowing my 
True purpose 
In my identity...!
