The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Sense of wonder

fades and falters

 

Cynics say it does not matter

Some look for diversions

to imagine for them

 

Others have no time

for such pleasantries

as fantasy

 

Yet for every time

that lone one asks

When will I see a purple cow

H G Wells wonders

What if we could travel

to the moon

 

Children fill with questions

of a world too huge

to comprehend

 

As they get older

questions dwindle

only in focus

Until the forest cannot

be seen for the trees

 

But again the most

hard minded scientist

must ask How?

and Why?

and seek answer

 

Magic never leaves

it only hides

waiting eagerly

to be found

 

The greatest mystery

what's out there?

what's it all for?

has those dedicating it

their lives

even now

 

Ending in the pursuit

of bringing all magic

is nobility and love

I aspire to

 

For those who have done so

You remain in my heart

I salute you

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dedicated to the crew of the space shuttle Columbia.
