These golden strands silently occupy my mind
like cotton balls of golden fleece, I find
And myriad thoughts bloom into arias, divine
A little lamp illuminating like the sharpest shining light
Even in a struggle, who can say whose is blight,
when the warrior has never failed to be right
Vision is clairvoyance, not mere eyesight
Evil may have power but never have might
I can call on all my Godliness subordinated and made sublime
that I can find rhyme, even when it is not yet my time
And I can say the sweetest tasting fruit may just be the lime
For it can be procured for a mere lowly dime
But I know, too well, what is precious only to me
All the leaves hanging like hearts on my ancestral tree
I swear my love was never sold for all the money
Because, I may have been imprisoned, but I suffer so much to set you all free!
