Solitude - Mountain Tops
I believe in humanity.
So I walked away alone.
The mountain top of ambition,
I climbed in solitude.
The mountain top of compassion,
I reached in solitude.
The mountain top of justice
I arrived in solitude.
The gray rain
And the red sunset behind it
Saw me walk in the mountains
So that my beloved ones
Would never be outsiders.
I go.
But you will see
Three green mountain tops
In a short summer
Surrender.
When my baby brother asks,
Tell him:
His equally beautiful eyes
Need not be misty
For I lived humanity.
