i.
mud like freckles
a garden bursting into life
dreams, cast aside -
            greatness arises silently;
            tangible, if searched for.



ii.
mirrors break
thousand pieces scatter
like humans do -
            burning, yearning, desiring
            Ikarus greets knowingly.



iii.
roads meander
look at me, I am walking
treading my way home -
            fools believe there's gold
            waiting, hidden there;



iv.
craving wealth
no stone is left unturned
groat ripped apart -
            silently, lest to disturb
            I tread onwards, home.



v.
my house's a palace
a dome of pleasing solitude
no rattling, no fuss,
            no fool to disrupt me in my peace -
            a wealth no fool can see.
