Here is the music I was playing/listening to, while writing the poem this morning. The poem was written from a collection of notes scribbled down, depicting my dream during the night. Also, there’s another video attached below my poem
The Harmony Of This Man
I’ve spent the last two days
Printing and sorting photos from my trip
A journey, to the edge of faraway dreams
Placing today’s images, from my heart
Into this collectors photo album
I experienced tremors of joy
And I cried rivers of happy emotions
My hands will never be empty again
They shall forever carry these memories
From the enchanting land of distant families
I’ll now hold their trust in my palms
Knowing the true values of their clan
Early morning, I’m already playing my music
Listening to rhythmical sounds, herald the dawn
In time with the beat of my pulsating adrenaline
My erratic pencil scribbles notes
I have to write hurriedly
To capture this moments magical tone
That euphoria of my mind’s ecstasy
Moving feelings, of this life’s eventual peace
My visions achieved, now living within me
I’ve taken years to learn the harmony of this man
