More from *Paulwe

Even ThoughEven though I can't draw
I can still see what others have drawn
And laugh, because I see their shapes and lines
Lifting off the page and taking their first breaths

Even though I can't fly
I can still dream of birds
And summer clouds in impossible hues
And a little girl on a glider

Even though I can't meet Beethoven
I can still hear his music
The notes have survived, though he has not
They fill my head like ghosts

Even though I can't change the world
I can still know the truth
Because I would rather its blade shatter my heart
Than for lies to stroke my face and leave my soul be
Unanswered QuestionsAs I walk along this beach at night,
I look to my feet, and see, not debris,
Not waste,
But a treasure trove of stories - ideas.

This driftwood log -
What foreign port did it make its journey from?
What thousands of miles did it travel
Before it arrived here, at my feet.

And these shells,
With patterns and colours so rich and vivid;
They tell me stories of places
Under the ocean;
Or of other times I cannot visit
Except in my imagination.

And what about these rocks?
Beachglass? Or perhaps something more?
Did they come from the court of an emperor?
Or perhaps they are jewels
From a long-lost wreck in the Spanish Main.

I do not know.
Tonight
HeavenIn heaven there'll be a library.
And in this library there'll be every book every written.
And it'll have armchairs, and fireplaces, and windows,
So I can just sit and watch the world go by.

In heaven there'll be oceans so I can sail,
And islands that I can land on,
And exotic ports with colourful characters,
And somewhere I can dock up and call home.

In heaven there'll be music.
I'll play the piano, and whole worlds
Will spring from my fingertips,
And the sound will carry me away.

In heaven there'll be a sky,
And clouds that look like castles,
And stars in constellations, so many of them,
And a hill to sit on, so after a big day of advent
