“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”


My hands are a desert
Tarnished with time,
Dried by the daunting
Mountains I’ve climbed.

My eyes are a city
Flowing with motion,
Seen from the sky
As an idle commotion.

My mind is an island
Lusciously distant,
A life in an ocean
But to you nonexistent.

My heart is a temple
Constructed to last,
But ravaged by scratches
Of visions long past.
