    I shall take
      my eye and
         cast it to
    the heavens —
      to become
         a burning
    star — lighting
         the way in the
    world.

    Whispering dreams,
      whispering love –
         whisper until
    the roar is
      deafening!
         Light is loud,
      thoughts disjointed –
         announce my
           coming. Who
    cares? I know
      I don't – why
        should you?

    Officium vocatum
    tough business...
         saving worlds.
    Let me go my
         way. I'll be
    quiet. Listen if
    you
           want
           to.
