Risking attacks,
I learn from my life’s moments
Of threat and drama...
Where the drop ends,
And the crown starts.

Where the heap turns
Into a mountain shadow,
Or, shimmers
In vibrant colours of promises.

Risking attacks,
I learn from my life’s moments...
When to detach from a situation,
Or, thrive under a canopy of hopes.

To explore the world of my dreams.
