REFLECTIONS © 2011

I who have lived for over a thousand years,

Here I am, in age and mystery,

Observing the eternal cycle of deceits,

Bearing the weight of humanity's errors, seriously.

I have witnessed centuries of promises and falls,

Of wars, of peace, of dreams undone,

I have seen hearts ignite in hope's calls,

Only to extinguish, discontented and shunned.

And here I remain, silent and aware,

Carrying the burden of time in my hands,

While the world, in its despair,

Repeats the same mistakes, the same plans.

But despite the pain I bear within,

I still hope that humanity will learn, at last, to begin.
