Knowing Thyself ? or Not Knowing It?


Humming, the blowing wind;
clicking, my typing keys.
Wondering, my wandering mind;
where is it leading me to?

Two months in a foreign land,
excited I was in the first few weeks.
Still excited nowadays, yes I am;
but, in a total different way.

Reality strikes me unexpectedly hard,
as time has diluted my initial freshness.
As if my life has just begun,
as I realize that I know nothing about thyself.

Yes, for twenty one years I thought I know a man,
yet, he is now a total stranger to me.
A man who understand nothing;
but knowing that he understands nil.

Feel the chill and sing to the rhyme,
being lost in the world of Auld Lang Syne.
Come, come, my dear stranger,
let's introduce to one another again.

Oh, wordless thought running in my mind,
everything I learned was left behind.
To you my friend, I write these words;
and meet each other again.
