For fifty long years
I have lived the inane existence
Of an infinitesimal dot in the cosmic space

I now have a domain name
And a personal web page.

I now journey through the mind-swept plains
Fascinated and frightened
Through the limitless expanse of cyberspace.

I cross the fords and shallows
The meandering rivers and
Treacherous mountains
I reach strange and exotic lands
Full of eccentric, maverick men
Denizens of an exciting world
Built upon a dot, a slash, and a hyperlink

I have turned into an indefatigable traveller
A camel-riding bedouin in search of life-giving water
In these vast deserts of cyberspace
