Let Me Be Blind

O great wall cover it

I wish not to see,

Do not reveal it

‘Tis not for me.

O darkness, conceal it

Protect me from its grip,

Let not me be taken

Enticed into this trip.

Sea-spirits who roam

Raise your watery foam,

Do your worst, drown me

But above all, blind me.

Clouds give me shade

Let me evade

That searing white light

Frightening me with its might.

I wish to be a loner

Like the great Homer,

I wish to describe it

With words so bold,

But I do not wish

To witness the World unfold.
