You are to linger on
Till your mind blows down.
You are to write on
Till your pen dries out.

Work like honey bees
Till they call you great poets.
Share your thoughts and pains
Till your spirit joins the clouds

Language needs care
For it reflects your learning.
Expression needs passion
For it describes your yearning.

Write ten thousand lines about the life
Writ large on your planet`s forehead.
Right many a wrong as you live on
And tell the world you are there.
