In the chaos of life, my hands were molded into feet.
I see something that shapes us, something sweet.
It is indeed the glorified version of life, nurturing ephemeral moments like the sheath of a knife.
Hold tight, my dear friend; we knew this fate would not be the same.
It is different yet tempting to end.
Toy cars, the old mango tree, and sounds from the early days are framed.
I disappear, but I reappear for something I wish to hear.
I close my eyes, but I open my eyes for moments I wish to see.
I manifest myself to him, the one I’ve longed to meet.
As I sip my coffee in the kingdom of peace,
As I rest my legs on the mattress of sheer bliss,
Now that I’m sitting on the throne of God,
Rest in peace, my golden memories.
