The golden yellow-brown colors, Of overgrown ripe Teff leaves, That stretched in a never-ending sight, Dazzling in the morning breeze, Transmitted a rich odor in my nostrils, A fragrance rare, Awakening a sense of delight, As I walked through the mountainous road-side, Inhaling the freshness around me, My mind in perfect peace, In a state of tranquility never before seen;
For the mind within, That controls my other senses, Is held tight unwittingly within me, Before it could break loose, And lead me, to utter confusion.
