The time has come for me to go
Leave and disappear,
Back to where I can belong
Back to where I care
To find the path for me alone
As always, nothing new …

I will rise again another day
Fortune, fame and recompense
Have smiled on me my whole life long,
And I thought for a moment
A brief interlude,
This time was meant for you …

I should have known better
Watched between my feet
Listened closer to the evening tides
Around the desert inn,
The moth comes to bring the news
The vapors left behind
And I, like smoke have lingered long enough
In this world of cluttered words …
