Dreaming
The fighter breathes by fighting;
A noble breathes through fighting.
The poet sees by writing;
A reader sees through writing.
The lover feels by loving;
A cherished feels through loving.
Many are deemed as dreamers
Yet such is not who they are.
Fighters, poets, and lovers
Live beyond gazes afar.
What merit can be found
In that which could have been?
A noble breathes through fighting.
The poet sees by writing;
A reader sees through writing.
The lover feels by loving;
A cherished feels through loving.
Many are deemed as dreamers
Yet such is not who they are.
Fighters, poets, and lovers
Live beyond gazes afar.
What merit can be found
In that which could have been?
