I roam through the universe
And gather the broken stars
As I taste the sweet bitterness of life.
My home is this empty sky
Where I created myself and mine
And I see the bright darkness of love.
I am the source of life and love
For I, myself, have built this place
Of sad-faced moon and angry clouds.
I watch the ugly beauty of nature
And I pluck by the very roots
Every single flower and blade of grass.
The barren wasteland that is left
Belongs to me, for I have destroyed
The life and love and beauty I created.
My universe is gone, but still I remain.
I will begin again anew.
I will create a new universe with only
life...
and love...
and beauty!
copr. 1989 - Trinka Powers
