The Sacred Cave At the North
Far far away from the known lands
My eyes discovered a sacred cave
Located at the North
I walked
And passed
By many other sacred caves
Seen at the
South
East
West
And finally,
I arrived at the sacred cave
At the North
It was a very long and rough journey
Other caves whispered craving for my entrance
But I have always respectfully
Denied myself their generosity
Having arrived at the sacred cave at the North
I couldn't resist that for long
So I walked in slowly and had some rest
The rest wasn't peaceful
Because echoes from the sacred cave
Pointed out to me that it is a sacred cave and that no one is allowed in until he has fulfilled the rites
There I was
Tired and with regret
Regret of not being just
A little more patient
But here I am
Here, have I found rest
Here I am
Here I vow to stay
The echoes heard my plea
And pardoned me
So I vowed to stay in this sacred cave
Because among all other sacred caves
Seen at the
South
East
And West
This sacred cave
Is that which I have
Vowed to have my rest
Sometimes when I find myself journeying through
The South
East
And West
Back to my sacred cave with my harvest
My boneless leg cries out for some rest
The echoes in these other caves
Whispers me craving
But no matter how
Weak
Fraustrated
Lonely and
Disappointed
I become
I never dare enter those sacred caves
Because I know that each is reserved for only one
One Hunter
One sacred cave
An ideology unacceptable to the known lands
Today, I am still stuck to the sacred cave at the North
And having my rest
I find fulfilment
A divine gift
Offered unconditionally
As I stand on my sacred cave
I see many more sacred caves all over
Curiosity compels me
To walk into them
But that ancient vow
Keeps me away
And away
I vow never to walk
Into any other sacred cave
I keep exploring my sacred cave
The Sacred Cave at the North
