My dream is like a journey
to the moon
where i can enjoy the timelessness
of my being
...
Before i anchor the reigns of the mind
and fall asleep
i send the chariot of my soul
to seek the pearls of wisdom
...
Artificial poetry cannot defeat me
in this field of art
the shield of emotion gives me the confidence
to share the knowledge i part
...
I am beginning to feel
the spirit of carnival
as I make my way through the savannah
to see the crowd dance
