Analysis of I Dance In Preventative Play
I believe in fate
I avoid, to initiate,
Even though
I stay waiting
My beloved and soul-mate
One may hurt
My heart
However,
One cannot convert
My life chart
Within mythical perception
My conscience alert
Whenever dangers start
For its aspiration
I live, in my way
And direction
I dislike treason
My life follows
The waves of vision
The breeze of the season
The breath of emotion
My eyes watch insight
Analysing wrong and right,
On my way
Consequently, it is tough
For one, to bite
My year, my month
My week, my day
I dance,
Within a preventative play.
