Traveler

One million shards of glass lodged in time,

I can feel the diamonds embedded in my mind.

Take me higher,

higher still,

past the heavens, past the stars.

Lay me down on the moon,

let her craters cradle me.

I am a traveler

Crossing over distant lands.

I’ve been grounded there too long,

Singin’ those old songs.

I want to write you a letter, but my well has run dry.

Take the blood from my veins just to fill my quill.

I’m an astronaut now, I’m a hero now.

I’m a vagabond now, I’m someone’s villain now.

Tell me you’re alright. Just blink your light

from the ground. I’ll spot you from above,

let your beam reflect off my eye,

glassy,

and blue yonder.

I’ll know you’re still there.

Doesn’t seem there’s an end to this road,

but it’s taking me somewhere,

maybe far away from you.

I want to write you a letter, but these veins have run dry.

Take the darkness from space just to fill my quill. 

One hundred million shards of me lodged in you,

can you see my diamonds in your eyes?

I can see yours in mine.
