Explanation of the poem :
The only analogy one can derive is a pondering of a tired KP over his fate, losing those whom he and his forefathers had trusted the most with their well being, having lost his motherland and trying to find out reasons for whatever that happened to him. |

Looking with surmise
What do you want me to prove? The barren breath you gifted me What do you now expect me to do? What happens is not a mystery, nor too unfathomable to be understood; Seeing the entire desolate life spread in front of me, I feel as if left alone in dried woods. The way the thoughts taking shape in your mind I do wish to come near you; to cajole you,to calm you, to be with you,not only for now, But to live forever with you. But then I halt... Ponder and think over... Look at what you have given me, After all these generations of togetherness. And I stop the train of my thoughts Because somehow it has struck me now, Like the wind caught in the branch of a willow, For you, I was never worth the Saffron and the snow white Undeserving of the gray silent stones that surrounding me... But now, wherever I go, No matter where I will be Far off from the green eyes of Vale, Surrounding me will only be the grayish gloom A remembrance of days past, A vision of dreams lost, A nightmare I relive everyday; Living with ghosts of my paradise lost. |
