Poem

The Day the Titan Falls

The day the titan falls will not be a sad day

It will be a day when people see for themselves what time has in store for all.

Time immemorial has the power to make a giant fall

And raise a prince to be a king.

The day the titan falls I will not weep for what I lost

I will not despair to be alone in a world I did not make

I will be liberated to make a world anew –

For that I will pass a kind word to the titan who fell for me to stand.

For that I will give a sly wink each time I gesture in a manner well known.

The day the titan falls I will reminisce the lessons laid out for me to learn

The friends who show themselves so dear

And then in times of trouble disappear.

The friends of course and rugged word

Remaining seen and softly heard.

The friends I count on in times of ease 

Who bolster me to bring me peace.

To share their words when thoughts enlighten 

And look to me and call me a titan.

Read it. Don't read it. I don't really care anymore.
