Finally,
I have met
my distress well!
The rolling years
have kneaded
my soul.

The deserted patch
I have chosen now,
is not a hermit's cell.
It is a new roofless spot.
The best spot, ever.

I will source out,
all the light
from the new roofless spot,
to transcend!
I will go beyond the debris
of my growing years.
