Afolabi Muideen Poet Free verse

What I Am

My dream 
Stands before me
Like the glow of moon
Almost touching my hand
Yet in a farther way
Thinking of it is a measureless joy
Yet pursuing it is an excruciating pain
Day by day it opens my eyes
To see the word beyond
Day by day the earth mock me
That what I am
