All Heaven In Sight

As a writer,

I create my own freedom

And as a writer,

I invent my own friends

As a writer,

I espouse my own truth

And as a writer,

my will never bends

As a writer,

I travel the world

And as a writer,

that journey’s within

As a writer,

I dive for more pearls

And as a writer,

each moment begins

As a writer,

the moon rises at dawn

And as a writer,

the sun burns through the night

As a writer,

my words play immortal

And as a writer

—all heaven in sight
