My Mortal Soul

I don't want to find my "life's mission".

The answers will come

soon enough.

I will not pursue it;

let my ikegai come.

If it must.

If it doesn't, I'll be content gazing

at stars and clouds.

Glad to be more than squirrel,

but less than goddess.

---

I don't care for being remembered.

I don't care for leaving my "mark".

For the sand is more beautiful

when it's left to the water alone.
