Enigma

Slowly and gracefully I walk towards what is mine-

My truth, my objectives, my being, my essence.

Slowly and gracefully I stand out and stand for what is justified.

Slowly and gracefully I walk towards what is mine-

I walk with purpose.

I don’t compete, I perform.

I own the spotlight, the candles, and chandeliers,

I am not what my exterior display-

I don’t even recognize what my interior replay-

Still I believe in the oracles of miracles,

Still I believe what is mine shall remain.

Every floating bridge hangs my name,

Every street holds the footsteps of my enigmatic presence.

I am one and all and whole,

I don’t claim any half-hearted attempts,

I am an enigma,

A siren,

I do not cling to any whistling wrestles!
