A poem from iPoems for the Dolphins to Click Home About

For those who want to stand prior to the horizon and smile at its attainability, for individuals who wish to enter the culture of the planet, to walk in the paths of previous kings, to fluently communicate the language of the globe, to dream the dreams of small children, to stand in advance of mountains, uncertain only of which to cross, to not be held by constraints that bind people unable to dream as fully and practical experience as richly the opulence of lifestyle, to flood the thoughts with the waters of every single sea, to drink the wines of far off lands, and gaze into the eyes of reality, to not be bound by native language, native tongue, to kiss enchantment and revel in the kindness of strangers promising to repay that kindness to the globe, to wonder, to dream, to recall, to overlook, to question, to understand, to understand, to know, and to come conscious of existence, to be so immersed in the rains of a distinctive sky that the outdated trivialities of the former self grow to be a laughing matter, to stroll by lavish cities on the road to the easiest villages, to meet the two accomplishment and failure without having paying out either’s toll, to rest with a smile recognizing that the day past was actually life, was really lived, there is always a waiting road . . .
