Their light a brilliant promise
Of days yet to come

I have not broken bread with kings
And people of the court
But those for whom the poet sings
Are not of great import

What have I seen that speaks to me
From mem’ry’s crowded mouth?
Eliciting a fierce response
That quickens through my chest?

Instead, e’er they shift

What truths does the earth hold?
What bounties of tales and epics
What scars from battles long forgotten
What heartbreak, what joy?

A quiet world
Where the heart slows
Where my mind lives free
Of the shadows that crowd my eyes
When they are open

A long-expected thing
Anticipation, almost more
Than that which is nearing
And in that quiet, energy
That drives the heart to pound
Excitement for what may yet be
What lies there to be found

Reshaping the shifting sands
The change small, unseen
