"...I was more stubborn than all of them"


Poem Artwork

Keep

stars over Studio Lance

I fall back to the keep
Of my castle to sleep
 
With love to all the homes within this house
I fought for and won while losing my mind
In the fight but that seemed part of the plan
When lions were silenced by the roar of a mouse
 
A solitary yet a lonely man
Determined to leave it intact behind
As it was set before me long ago
When nobody knew they would come to know
That I was more stubborn than all of them
Together and whether or not I knew
This is my Zion never mind Jerusalem
 
This is my somewhat worldly paradise
My home and that of many very nice
Somewhat worldly paradisians like you
And I will see you again tomorrow my friends
As another mouse-roaringly mindful day ends
 
I fall back to the keep
Of my castle to sleep
