Under A Bright Star (Poem)
In slumber
Snoring
Attempting
To awake
A child born
Under a bright star
Eyes open
And a cry of life
A crawl
A slow
Stumbling
Crawl
A step
Two steps
Three steps
A fall
A young man
Eyes glowing
With pride
Standing atop the world
An older man
Of but one year
But with eyes weary
Weighted down
The spark of pride
Smothered down
And a sleep
And a sleep again
Move, move, move!
Keep moving.
Move, move move!
The man must move.
And yet.
Perhaps not yet.
It is time to train.
And perhaps, heal.
Eyes awake
Eyes open
Eyes ablaze
A return
And kneel
Eyes closed
Before a sword's falling blade
And take your chances
Alive!
Alive and awake, under a bright star
Alive, under a bright star
Eyes ablaze with pride
And so.
Back upon the ascent
Ruin stalking from below
And yet, eyes ablaze
Under a bright star
