TWO MYSTERIOUS CAVES
TWO MYSTERIOUS CAVES
A cave so deep and dark is seen in front.
A spot of light shows me the other end.
That end is large, but distance makes it small.
How can l pass that length to know that light?
Deep darkness casts its gloom on right and left.
It makes a man not sure of scaring steps.
I yearn to step as light needs serious walk
to reach and know the truth of that far gate.
So long l've seen inside my heart that spot.
I know it is a purpose in myself.
It is the only light so far and vague
but it contains the pleasure of my heart.
Two spots, one in my heart, and one in life,
but both need boldness to defy the dark.
If l seize that inside my heart, l'll reach
that of the cave and achieve what l wish.
