Theme: Devotion

Who Says I Am Leaving?

Who says I am leaving
It's not leaving but going and coming
The doors will be broken
Again and again
Letting in the wind for my return
On ebbing tide you float me to the sea
Only to sail my boat
Again in full tide
A wayfarer I live on the road
Going and coming are same to me
In the morning wind my star may be lost
In the evening it will shine
And keep silently gazing in the dark.
