I remember reading about him
And how he was made to hold up the sky
How I thought what an honor it must be
To support something so beautiful and untameable
So that anyone might be able to look up and marvel.
Wouldn’t I gladly give every ounce of my strength
(feeble as I am)
To raise up the simplest beauty,
To rescue the most perfect flower?
O that your eyes would not be so weary
O your head so heavy
Is it weighted down by the memory
Of what it was to be so free?
Do your legs waver and refuse to hold
After your ageless ordeal?
Lie there and rest for a while
And to comfort you I will read a story
In the fading light
Of this imperfect hour.
