An envelopes a headstone;
A blade of grass, a sword;
He sees what no one else has known;
To pen his just reward;

Most of us are earthly bound;
And never think to try;
To soar above this fertile ground;
And I will tell you why;

We see a stone as just a stone;
A river as a brook;
We label things and people;
Without a second look.

A writer clings on silent wings;
Unlike you or I;
To overtake his dreams awake;
And lift himself to sky.

The author writes to fool himself.
Turns make believe to truth itself;
The known and trusted overturned;
What is, what was, must be unlearned.

An envelopes a headstone;
A blade of grass, a sword;
He sees what no one else has known;
To pen his just reward;

Most of us are earthly bound;
And never think to try;
To soar above this fertile ground;
And I will tell you why;

We see a stone as just a stone;
A river as a brook;
We label things and people;
Without a second look.

A writer clings on silent wings;
Unlike you or I;
To overtake his dreams awake;
And lift himself to sky.
