Untold Burden

Meeting a star

Untold Burden

What an untold burden

Every new sun

I wake up with with a story that already has begun

Maybe that all my dreams are just for real

As they always promised to set me free

My subconscious mind

keep asking

Is there any companion around? Am I alone by myself?

Is it the voice of the others? Or it is just the echo of my own?

Am I related to a body? And a soul?

Are we combined, or distracted

I used to escape from this with the skin o' my teeth

Every new sun

I wake up, forgotten things should be remembered

As I have to answer back the group of mind-body-soul team

so let them be

This new sun

I remembered

I know a star, was always there in the sky

Oh, dear shining star

You are my liberty

I am travelling to you

Bringing my heart, me and myself

I need to share a couple of thoughts with you

In silence,

I used to believe with the way things are here, now I am going somewhere else looking to start a new believe

Are they three companions?

The soul, the mind, the body

I made a decision

I travelled to the addressed star

Heavenly I met with my liberty

We shared same one chair at the edge of the sky's shore

As we talked about mysteries and storied of relative clouds

About the sky wardrobes of where drops of rainwater are hidden

I asked, where does the moon sleep?, and does he wear pajamas for that?

Oh how I loved this gosep

I travelled back home

And I forgot to ask

My liberty...

My library...

Are they three companions?

"The soul, the mind and the body"

Or do we (as always) forget the heart?

Are they four?

What an untold burden
