You shall be of water
You shall be of sun
You shall wear a star
You shall touch the moon
You see, you, my friend
when in the sub-conscious
what the human will do,
will be?
you shall be as of fire
you shall be tired
but slake your thirst
in waters, go up again
and walk, then run.
you will find strength again
you will find verse again
you will find life again
and you will sing and chant.
and you will the waters pass by
surrounded by the Old Towns
the quiet turf, the happy
cries of children innocent.

This is a wonderful poem! You effortlessly create a paradaisal world out of the basic elements of the one we live in. This is not a poem which condemns sinfulness and argues we must renounce the world as the devil's since the Fall of Adam and Eve. You describe humans going deeper inward, into the subconscious, which is not an alien world of inchoate impulses but one that fulfill the longings of our souls. It will be celebrated almost as a festival of homecoming.
