Lately I've been staring at walls,
Sitting in silent rooms.
Alone, talking to my imagination,
Placing brick on brick,
Collecting stones and sticks,
Making tears and rips.
I've taught the grass to grow,
The wind to sway,
The sun to shine,
And water to stay.
I've watched people grow,
Seen them come and go,
Despite rain or snow.
I've seen them build homes and towns,
Move mountains to ground,
And I've seen others burn it all down.
I've walked all of this land,
Given out gifts by hand,
I met forgotten folk.
I've met gods and kings,
Deities and queens.
I've built a world.
I have seen it change,
As I, too, have changed.
This is my world,
And I still have much to do.
