Landfalls
I often find near landfalls
in centers of the sea.
Desires overwhelm the truth of authenticity.
I often find oases
in visions of the sand.
Desires overwhelm the truth of chimerical band.
I often find soft rainbows
in shadows of the storm.
Desires overwhelm the truth of realistic form.
I often find flawed shelters
in dangers of the night.
Desires overwhelm the truth of consequential plight.
I often find nirvana
in prospects of the fate.
Desires overwhelm the truth of everlasting bait.
