Free Man

On the day,
when nothing I owe anyone,
and my duties are dutifully
all taken care of,
I shall move to the sea
to sail its waves, taste its winds
and to be just as free.

Shall I take with me,
nothing of the land,
only my rowing blades
and my safe pair of hands.
Shall I leave,
nothing behind,
none to wait, none to hate
but just some foot prints on the sand.

Set off, never to be back
row and row, far and far.
No place to arrive though
I am at the mercy
of only the god of the sea.
No wish, I need to fulfill
no fish I need to kill,
not much days before I fall,
in death's embrace,
But just enough time,
before I live it all.

How beautiful
would it be,
the lonely me and the lovely sea,
need not share,
what I feel, what I see,
none to hurt, none to please.
Only the sun at the tip of horizon
not ready to give up on me.

A freeman I shall become,
free of any fear,
free of any dear,
No love shall I ask for,
for in love with myself,
I have all ready would have fallen.
Free of care,
I would rave on the freedom,
I would feed on the solitude.

Sleep shall not shut my eyes
for no dream I shall sleep for,
but the dreamworld
would already,have been achieved,
alive, before my vision.
To the stars,
I would tell a few secrets
of the good people of the land
cause I know they will keep it,
unlike the good people of the land.

Then I would just lay unmoved.
Empty my mind into the sea,
empty my heart into my eyes
and give away to the sea god
to empty my soul from my body
any moment it may like.

It might sound like
I went to die,
But I would have lived,
in eternal peace with myself.
I would have lived
a life of length that is enough to be happy.
Cause no worry would itch me,
only content to drown in.
One with the ocean,
I shall float forever.
