I Have Roamed Other Worlds

I have
Roamed other worlds before
I have
Stumbled on stones unseen herefor
I have
Walked blinded into concrete walls
And because I had a mound of ambition
I have
Spoken to death silence
I have
Received my reply in silence
I have
Trod forbidden lines
And came off grasping spikes
I have
Seen things
Man is not permitted to see
My vision has been weaned
I am a man of
I do not know what
Yet I'm a man after all.
