Let me see once more
A galaxy full of life
All bound in the Force
May the Fourth be with you!
Let me see once more
A galaxy full of life
All bound in the Force
May the Fourth be with you!
Amazed am I that with but pen and pad
I can create a place that’s never been
And visit its wide wonders in my head
As if I knew it like a childhood friend
Lately I sink
In waters
I need not
Have dived into
Let me sit in the quiet
Without a question or demand
From the world outside
Without the leading and needling
Toward things I do not need
For I need no more
Than what I already have
Green gives way to pink
While the waking earth drinks up
And the sun smiles down
The blesséd morning brings a warning word
Before even the gull rises from bed
A sign to see, for it cannot be heard
When deep as blood the sky awakens red
Let breathless words define the heart’s desire;
Before the words, let not a thought pass by;
For in such unconcealéd speech breathes fire
That, once revealéd, cannot ever die
Whither must I wander
To find answers
That fate has not yet
Availed me?
The pages whisper
Of tales beyond memory
Old, fantastic myths
As I sit surrounded
Amidst wood planks
Crackled pages
Chipping paint
Tall trees
I wonder what stories they have seen
What lives they have witnessed
All before my time
