I left my body behind to live in my mind,
physical life marked by food & comforts
with this ego - calculating, wide-awake
and analytic, in control; doesn't work
for me - escaping piecemeal through
Children's fiction does not help enough,
standing all day at my desk - for health
reasons, trying to concentrate; messed
up my production even more, thus only
by lifting up and looking down into the
Situation from above, is there hope for
my completing the pilgrimage on earth
without feelings or emotions interfering
with the little routines of my lived with-
out common-sense because I believe
Instincts provide better guides to decide
on action required, tho' without signs of
Hans Christian Andersen's uncommon
sense inspiring him to go against advice
so he became the most-read author of
Fairytales, while I simply live within the
make-believe universe inside my head

I would like to translate this poem
uncommon sense inspiring him to go against..., love that phrase. Of course, I'm Danish and was raised on Hans Christian Andersen. Artistic inspiration comes from many sources, dreams and memories being most important. Continue your make-believe universe to create such good work!
