Migratory Soul


My soul is resting here under an umbrella, 
Hearing the rhythmic roar of big waves,  
Observing dead Oyster shells heart quivers.
They come from mysterious abysmal burg
After completing their life journey. 
Looking at the vast open sky,
I whispered to the chariot wind;
When are you taking my migratory soul,
To that unspotted sea of empty garden?
Soon heart filled up with an obscure pain.
