Once upon a midnight dreary
… no no no
Between the dark and the daylight…
… no no no
Do not go gentle…
… no no no

Beside the footsteps
of the famous
of the wise
of the great
We walk
I struggle to find
my courage
my confidence
my voice
one great song
Here I sit, alone in the darkness
words dancing
words fencing
words making walls… and breaking walls
in my brain
Hear my song
listen to the quiet
listen to the dance
listen to the wisdom
that comes from the ages, not from me.
