Ic Eom


For the universe I am a particle
product of a sudden explosion

For the silence I am the elixir of
a sincere word to say

For death I am a temptation
ridiculous and burlesque

For the winter I'm the cold
lethal, invisible and indivisible

For my land I am a crazy wanderer
playing with the wind
and dissipating the shadows

For me I am the voice that deceives its echo
the word that cannot find its origin
the blood that never sleeps.

The reason is lost, and here I am one.
