Something To Be Said

Two Steps Ahead

•

Dear son,

you do not exist yet,

but you float around

in space.

(You are a star.)

Right now,

you are dust floating

among debris

from an explosion.

(A super nova.)

Yes, I know

it doesn't actually

work that way

but that's how I

like to look at it.

Dear son,

the world is at your

fingertips,

(you just

have to have the

coordination to catch it.)

I'm not sure

if I will be able to

for I am still a child myself

and you do not exist yet

you are dust

and debris

(And light.)

The light

At the end of the tunnel

a last hope

when all else was lost

you were there to

guide the way home

(Two steps ahead)
