You! Oh Mediterranean!
Whom the Euphrates wants -
to flow into.
The Tigris too is racing it's way -
to you.
Even the Nile with it's seven heads is waiting -
To be accepted by you.


Oh please accept them Mediterranean!
Let them flow peacefully into your wide -
basin of sea.
For they are all my rivers.
Who has nowhere to go -
except to thee -
Mediterranean.

68

My head got heavy
I laid my head on my hand -
Then I fell asleep

67

A recluse chose
to live out of society.
A loner's life -
Away from peers -
A reclusive life -
Away from friends -
Away from pressure -
Away from family.


A lone reed
among the prairie -
A lone lion with all the freedom -
A lone ranger on a quest -
A lone wolf roaming the night.


Oh how is it to be -
a recluse?
Living a reclusive life
to live alone within a world -
Of freedom -
A world within the society -
Of jackals and vultures - and friends.
Whom all the recluse alienate -
For the sake of peace.

66 : FREEDOM

I shut the door close - 
And came Freedom.
Has come every time -
I shut the door closed.

65

Oh little hot hands -
Do massage this tired body
As I stay still beneath you all.
Soothe this tired soul please do -
With those hot steaming hands -
That comes by strands -
Of a thousand or more -
Strands.

64: BUCKETS OF WATER

Buckets of water fell from the sky -

Whole night - Whole day.

Drenching the earth -

Turning it to swamp -

Sending the frogs jumping -

Frenzy into higher land.

Kyoko and Nachi,
Two extraordinary beings.
Both have each a golden heart.
Sisters in flesh and sisters in faith.
Beautiful both inside and out.


Possessing Godly qualities
Agape - The brotherly love.
Sheep like personality they have
Lamb like traits they exercise
All from the almighty Jah from above.


Always ready to help
A brother or a sister in faith in need
With loving kindness out of their -
Golden heart they show
Agape love to all who they care for.


Prithee they are leaving,
To the west they are going -
To the land of the blondes and
Blue eyed people -
Called Germany of Europe.


Oh to see you both depart
On this journey of yours
Leaves us all in a morose state
Our hearts shed tears as we
Bid thee both adieu.


Missing you both would be an -
Understatement of how we will -
Feel when you're both gone.
A big loss for us;
A big loss for mitake congregation.


For all we know you're the beacon -
Of light and joy and fun.
Without you both things won't be the same -
But if Jah's will is for you to go -
To a foreign land where the need is great -
Who are we to complain,
For we are just His lowly servants.


With these humble words of mine,
I say Thank you for everything that we -
Received from you both and -
Everything you did for us.
We will never forget you -
And we can never repay you.


As this land is your home
We're sure we may meet again
In the near future or someday -
In some other time - we will.


May Jehovah bless you always
For He is our rock and our 
Almighty creator.
May he bless your journey to
Bavaria and may He make it fruitful
May Jah grant you good health always -
For you to spread and share -
The elixir of life -
Jehovah's word.
