Let none who list’n to music grand—
And none who love to read—
And none who gaze on paintings fine—
And none who clap for dance—
Let not one of them look upon
The works of humankind
And tell you that a man cannot
Move mountains with his hands.

Without a sound
With peaceful calm
The conscious shifts beyond this mortal plane
That life is true
As so is this
Celestial marriéd to mundane
My fingers reach now
For strings to pluck, keys to play
Itching to create
I walked without a sound
Went down a lonely street
And who there should I meet
But you
I quieted my lips
I opened up my ear
So better could I hear
Your voice
And though it’s been a while
You are beside me yet
With Fate I’ve won a bet
So ev’ry day I get to see your smile
For what do fantasies and tales
Exist, their characters and songs
Persist, if not to fill us all
With harmonies and histories and joyful music playing in our minds?
Wind howls and bites
The ground is icy cold
There is little green
And all slumbers
But life flickers
The sun smiles
Buds peek
Ice melts
The world is set to come alive once more
Spires of clearest glass
As they would seem upside down
Dripping clean water
At last I see green
And smell coming spring’s fresh scent
And my heart lightens
I once went walking on a starless night
And found myself completely, wholly lost
As shadows twisted off the edge of sight
And strange and fright’ning sounds did me accost
I thought to turn around and find my way
By following the footprints I had left
But hidden with the ground they did then lay
And I was there alone, of route bereft
But in a sudden burst there came a star
The brightest light that ever I had seen
Though I had walked and travelled oh so far
It brought me close, a place I’d not yet been
And since that day she shines e’er in my eyes
And darkness cannot drown me ‘neath the skies
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like
Sometimes I wonder who I could become
Sometimes I wonder if it could be done
Sometimes I wonder what I could achieve
If I were a Tyrannosaurus rex
Inspired by children everywhere.
