The poem was inspired by naturre
Now I have gone to that place
where I stand afloat on the surface
behind me, before me, beneath me
around me no single  dry land
where tears run slowly and falls
and add to the priceless glitter
from its source to its source
the feeling was adamic with God on my side
saying, "take this, take this, all this you'll have"

But I came through a place
where there was no moving life
only golden rays, sunlight and strength
and my heart in my hand
those taking soft steps were scared
because of the sound of the soldiers' boots
getting closer and closer

Now am in a place
were every passing glance
has a love story to its heart
were the free ones mind their business
as they find solace in the air and beneath
and then I reach out to feel
touch and drink from the air and go
it took the change in the direction of the wind
to find out fear and emptiness
were the laces for the shoes.
