A Solitary Scribe

let the stars sing their flickering chorus
and everything that exists join the choir
while i echo the One word lyric
that permeates the cosmos --

“Eternity”

a man in Sydney Australia spent his days
chalking ‘Eternity’ on sidewalks in a beautiful
script, I saw his art and message as a child
and wondered

who was to know that a seed was planted
that would grow into a tree with roots
in the forever and branches that never cease
reaching for the limitlessness of creation?

i now spend my days and nights writing many words
which deliver only partially, so i must defer to the master scribe
who encapsulated everything that needs to be expressed
in one sublime, complete word

you would be pleased to know that an entire city of six million
finally acknowledged your message one new years eve

the years come and go but your message
remains

thank you Arthur for the lead,
i now write my most important messages on the wind
using an emu feather quill as a stylus
