Somewhere Far Away

Somewhere far away someone is reading what you've published Everyone of you out there has been exposed Lights continue to shine on in the distance Both in the city and in your mind Somewhere far away someone is reading what you've published That person might be a lawyer, doctor ,dock worker, homeless person or an aesthete Just keep reminding yourself everyday that you have talent Ignore the critics for they are not creators of original work As I sit here in the asphalt homeland I feel the night wrap itself around me like a crystalline blanket Verse is an excellent friend (at times)
