Fledgling
I want to make things.
Beautiful things.
I want to paint the world with starlight and glass,
luster and life.
The crash of an ocean wave soaked in vivid reds and blues.
I want to make things.
Horrible things.
The innocence of evil,
grizzle, blood, and beasts.
The long, grimy fingers of cold, cold fear that close fast around you this very instant.
I want to make things.
Powerful things.
A flash of lightning that turned the tide.
The axe that split the frozen lake.
The hand that grasps yours across the void.
The voice that cries, 'YOU ARE NOT ALONE!'
I want to make things.
Simple, complex things.
Things that make people stop.
And think.
About the things they make.
