Do I regret?
 
Do I
regret the moment in which a soul was comforted
regret the caressing of sight by a play of sounds
regret the moment in which all is given up for a dance
regret the caressing of ears by a song of colors

the moment, gone
caress is but a memory
dance just another illusion
a moment: just a moment

Do I
regret a touch
regret a fragrant
regret a moment
regret a moment

the emptiness has a weight
and the hallow chambers within heart
have a weight
the weight of the empty

perhaps an illusion
perhaps dance of the dead
perhaps cry of the lost
perhaps

Do I
regret the sunshine in the morning after
regret the taste of eternity in a cheap soup
regret rising of the  of sun and wishing it not
regret resting in an illusion

the sunshine burns
the soup, essence of the dead
the rising of the sun, inevitable
and the rest: an illusion

the steps not of a dance
the sound not of a sigh
the colors not of a rainbow
 

a dancer never counts the steps
