In the dance of countless boats, I’ve tried out my fate,
Alone, head held high, chasing sun’s warm embrace.

False pride echoed in footsteps, a weary song,
A firefly with the prettiest smile, posed questions strong.

“God or man? What will you be?” She asked with soft glow,
Love’s measure, a thousand or one, will you ever know?

Golden dawns witnessed as I fall again and tried,
With empty hands I looked for these answers and sky!

Amidst moments, days, and years, she emerged in me,
Holding me she asked again, “Love, what do you want to be?”

I surrendered to her river’s bend, for songs of liberty,
In her arms, I felt alive, and kissed life’s decree.

Well finally, I belong to her, I feel happily undone,
City life, farewell, I leave, take care of your sun!
