onto these pages these images these dream-words in sonorous
sounds?

Walking
on the road
I feel I'm the road itself-
Lying down the light of the lamp
I feel like the lamp itself-
When I look at the sky
I feel I'm the sky itself-
When I browse through the paper
I feel like the paper itself-
Only when I ignite my thoughts into words
do I realize
that I'm still
the moving fiery bard. |
