There is a chanting in my inner mind
I hear it

but what are those words

on the tip of my tongue

as I try to chant along

I know them

but I do
not

there is a chanting that I know very well
but
how could I
I never did learn them

I cannot say them
I cannot see them

through the blur
the haze

of my present knowledges

the merging of the now and then

the chanting comes from the ocean waves that rushed at the foot of the temple
to
the ocean waves that rushed to the edge of the trail
near the shores of a sea on the other end of the world

named after ancients here and there

I hear the chanting of the ghosts
I am chanting with them

but the words dont materialize
