A poem by baraka awolola – monk on fire

1

He walked through the jungle of tears at dawn,

2:16

2

Where koi flew high and mist was drawn.

2:10

3

Through the misty cliffs where moonlight guides,

4:44

4

He hummed soft prayers to nature as the rabbit hides.

2:22

5

In the burned mountain, where fire kissed rain,

2:56

6

He smiled through smoke, embraced his deeper pain.

2:24

7

He drank from clearwater springs of water once blessed,

2:28

8

And laid his head on a tree root to find rest.

2:04

9

As he awakens, his eyes touch the sun,

2:34

10

His journey has ended, yet a new dawn has begun.

5:15
