Today I’m finally free
From the agony of
My self inflicted reveries,
And the looming miseries.
…
I bundle up the love,
That till now I gave to others,
And wrap it in silver paper,
Tying a satin along the corners.
…
The endless nights I spent awake,
Orbiting with the moon,
I douse them with the fragrance of moon flowers,
That grew from my tears to full bloom.
…
Those wishing pennies that I collected,
When I fulfilled everyone’s wishes,
I save them in the rose gold silk pouch,
As they are rightfully mine to keep.
…
And my dreams, I finally wrap delicately,
With the prettiest wrapping paper,
And pile them on the top of all,
Giving them first priority.
…
I place all these pretty gifts,
Sprinkling them with pixie dust,
And gift myself a very deserving
Basket full of happiness.
