“One must never forget his roots.”

Dream (v.)
From the Old English dremen,
Which means “rejoice”

To dream
Is to fantasize
About what can be

Think (v.)
From the Proto-Germanic thankjan,
Which means “appear”

To think
Is to realize
What is

Hate (v.)
From the Old English hatian,
Which means “with aversion to”

To hate
Is to deny
What you truly understand

Love (v.)
From the Proto-Germanic lubojan,
Which means “to approve”

And to love
Is to accept
What you never will

Write (v.)
From the German reissen,
Which means
“to design, sketch, draw, tear, pull, or tug”

And to write
Is to immortalize
All your hateful thoughts
All your lovely dreams
With marks
Made with your fingertips
Fluid as paint
On an artist’s canvas

It is to write a message
Into the unknown
In the hopes that one day
It will reach the one
Who longs for it most
