The Written Word

To leave my world and my being in all its entirety

and enter into a new life -

to forget the hardships and desires of this journey

and bring upon my mind a new beginning -

I can travel to any place of any kind,

known or unheard of.

I can become one of that which I have longed to be,

or perhaps one that I have hardly dreamt of.

I can enter into the minds of the races -

of those that have never brought a tear.

I can see through the eyes of all

that walk upon the path of one’s thought,

and I can feel their every emotion.

Many lives I have lived,

and many more have yet to come.

With every passing star I sigh,

only to see in latter days,

that I have been given the greatest gift of all.
