Lonely Island

And so he treads on the lonely island

His brown legs wading through the sand

No cold , No fever, No semblance of fear

No talk , No banter, No near and dear

Neither does it burn nor does it rain

He feels no tension; he feels no pain

The air wraps him around like a shawl

He has no pride , he does not fall

No joy , No sorrow , No highs , No lows

He has no wishes , no friends or foes

He has no fancy , he has no whim

Life or death means nothing to him

Walking through the sand he does not tire

Heaven or hell he has no desire

He feels untied , he feels free

He is the lone apple in a lonely tree

He has nothing to spend, nothing to give

All he has is his life to live

And so he treads on the lonely island

His tired legs wading through the sand.
