Reflections Of Self
If a genius chooses not to embrace his gift,
will he live to endure deeper pain
If an artist doesn’t strive to create and unfold,
will she die in a chasm of chains
If a Prophet loses faith and abandons his path,
will he wander a desert unknown
If all lovers grow distant, away from the heart,
will the world lose its hope
—so alone
