A GARDEN OF ROSES

"You wish to be like those stones,

sitting firmly at the center of a gushing stream."

* * *

You want to blaze like a meteor & be gay,

marvel at the splendor of all great cities.

A free bird that roams at night & day,

& a grey hair with head full of witties.

You wish to be like those stones,

sitting firmly at the center of a gushing stream.

Mild mind & a body with untroubled bones,

yours is such a beautiful & peaceful dreams.

You want a life of dungeons & dragons,

by your side you wish a friend, maybe elf paladin.

For you would be the dwarf monk that travels in wagons,

you yearn for a world of fantasy — Aladin.

Your dreams are clear like a reflection on still waters,

but you must be ready for stings of thorns if you want roses as flowers.
