He offered me a beautiful gift in life
One of the best obtained
That which I value even now and forever
The gift to taste a poem
To drink into it
And delight my heart in its exceptional beauty
To lose myself in delightful mysteries
To leave this plane of sometimes selfishness
And fly my heart to realms beyond
Where I lose myself in me to me alone.
What is life without poetry?
It’s like a song without music
A dance without rhythm
Starless nights
And sunless days
