I Am Nothing

Nothing I am , nothing I have

just  a small bulging spark of fire

swinging  in favor  of fate

taken by the wind to distant places

Nothing I am, nothing I wish or claim,

nothing but a leaf carried by the wind

torn apart from the branch that gave  life

taken by the breeze and  the swaying of time

Nothing more than just desert dust

drifting away by capricious breezes

crossing deserts through the ages

not knowing where  to finally  reach

Just a drop of water immersed in the vast sea

brought by the will  of waves

returning  into the sand after a long journey

to kiss your feet once more

With empty hands from thousands raids

aromatic flower essences have found

who had  pity on my deep wounds

balm of piety were their hands  to my soul

In my weakness they were my strength

fallen with me in the storms

and with me rose up to follow the way

together we wiped away our tears

If I ever  had  shone at certain time

was just the sun rays that  pitied me

giving   the  warmth and light

disappearing in the twilight of a day.

I am nothing, my hands are empty

I have walked thousand roads

I've climbed hundreds of mountains

my skin is leathery from the desert  heat

I am nothing in this world of vanities

where many pretend to be what they have never been

strutting their ego with wishful thinking

unaware that not  a single ray of light is their own

Those  who stand on the top of their glory

created by their own illusions

easily blown by the winds of time

vanished  into thin air, consumed by fire

Ephemeral dreams  dissolved in the vastness

only pain they leave behind, only debris on the road

for those being awaken from a dark dream

and suddenly realizing they have nothing and nothing they are

I am just a small spark

that looks for its radiant Sun, to submerge in it

while  climbing the paths of life has reached a peak

in my great loneliness, I have looked only for light

I am nothing, I have nothing

came looking for a drop of your honey

a drop of your clear water

a ray of light for this sad heart
