[Dayaja i-lail]

Zitat von DieBardin

Ich habe gerade in den alten Threads gelesen... und bin dabei auf meinen eigenen Link zu DeviantArt gestoßen (seit zig Jahren nicht mehr dort gewesen...) und habe Kunstwerke von mir entdeckt, die ich ganz vergessen hatte!
Und scheinbar habe ich auch einige Gedichte dort gepostet o.O

Eines davon ist mir in den letzten Wochen häufiger durch den Kopf gegangen und ich hatte vor, endlich mal mein altes Netbook rauszukramen und die ganzen Gedichte und Geschichten besser zugänglich zu speichern.
Das habe ich immer noch vor, aber zumindest für dieses Gedicht habe ich jetzt ganz unverhofft den vollständigen Text zu meinen Erinnerungsfetzen gefunden:


The Destination

I wake up in the morning
as night leaves the room
golden sunlight washes my bed sheet
lightens the millions of dust grains
and tickles my nose
I get up and go to the window
that time has given a dusty hue
I look out and I see, far away
far ahead
a destination
an aim
a place just waiting for me

I get dressed, take my rucksack
and fill it with pieces of paper
some clothes, a scarf, a light blanket for nights
a telescope and a compass
the half-eaten sandwich from yesterday
a bottle of water, an apple, and books
the lady bird from the window sill
and letters I did not open today

and then I set off, to the east I will go
leaving the town and the familiar streets
my keys I put under the door mat
and a note on the door
"gone for an undefined period"

soon I have passed the places I know
the traffic light I crossed every day
the graffiti saying "watch out world"
the letter box next to the grocery shop
and the shopping mall

the buildings are growing lower
wider spread
as town fades into country side
and walking on a field cart road
I look ahead, and still can see
my destination
my aim
too far away perhaps...
but there
waiting for me

I do not count the days that have passed
nor the steps I have walked on the way
they are many, I know
but they do not matter, not today
not tomorrow
I know where I want to go
my destination
my aim
still far away
but there, waiting for me
not getting nearer - but one day
I say to myself
one day I will reach it
I say
and walk throughout night and day

Sehr schön!
