sanctuary

Congrats to the poet for passing a key listener threshold on Radio City of Legends at Live365. In honor of this accomplishment...a classic from a long time ago.

sanctuary

in darkness...
an all-pervasive silence to the eyes,
dotted only by distant gleaming jewels
of hydrogen infernos...
their sanctuary so far
that I could not walk to them
in a million sleepless lifetimes.
so alone...
looking forward to see no cities
or nations or worlds bearing life,
or even an honest promise of it.
I strain with metal ears
to catch the faintest whisper
that never comes...just silence.
to heavens
I reach with open heart
and a prayer of a hope of a dream
of a chance that there is someone there...
someone who hears me...
and is willing to share a dream...
a dream of a destiny beyond Thulcandra.
