Freedom

you shall come one day
I know.
If you come late,
beyond my time fighting
and of achievement do not forget
I loved you universally
and sought you without discouragement
during all my
unnoticed stay
Holds for a moment
on the edge of my grave:
dead although, I would know to feel you
and recognize you
and then re-die peacefully.
