Yelling Back At Night

In my head I’m up there yelling back at Night, there’s a leonine aura shining brighter than lights off and on. There’s no off switch on this floodlight, but it’s not shining at me I’m aiming it right at The Man Upstairs, ‘cause He always comes downstairs for me, for us, for all of us. 

 

Ink and paper can’t keep the rumblings in, throw it out of the volcano, storm the gates of Olympus let’s go.

I wish I could turn that stereo up, drown out all the static from space. Schemin’ For The Masses, you know how it goes. Walking over the city with that stereo above the clouds, I wish I could crank the dial louder and louder, past the marks on the volume, past the marks on the walls, making this prisonsong my anthem.

                                                                    because it is hard

                     we will

                                                                                                            not because it is easy.

 

Light the torch, let’s sing this anthem into the night. They might not answer, maybe we’re all alone, maybe it’s just us. Just us and the stars. But we’ve got a lot of flags yet to be flown where the wind doesn’t go. The birds and the beasts stop short but we’ve got a sunset to fly past, rising over the new dawn, let’s go First Man won’t be the last.

 

If you do go, if you do walk out over the stars, let me come along so I can see Brilliance rising in this crumbling cosmos.

The Artists Of The World

It’s funny how every day, every day The Artists Of The World dream dreams, living their lives up until the end, throwing the dreams to paper, to canvas, to the beat of the drum. It’s funny how every day, every day The Artists Of The World dream dreams, living their lives up until the end, throwing the dreams to paper, to canvas, to the beat of the drum.

     Only to…

          Only to…

               Only to have one stranger stand in the wind and watch for a little while. It isn’t that difficult to find the sadness in the beautiful ocean eyes of a dreamer, of a poet, of a dance and its dancers. They pour their everything into stunning works of firework flowers and rusted windows peering into Providence, just so one passerby might throw in the money for a cup of coffee, just so someone would stop scrolling and pause for the briefest blink, just to capture such a fleeting feeling and try their best to carve its name into the face of The Earth. The very few that are lucky enough to have their names set in silver make it past the barrier of obscurity only for a little while, and then the world moves on to whoever’s next in line.
