L'Nass Shango Poet Free verse

Somewhere You Are - (For Esther)

Somewhere you are a shining star
Before the lens of strangers' telescope
A new scion of the god of war
The reason for the father
At the end of the dangling rope
He did not want it like this anyway
So little of our life is plan
And so much is fate
A plan brings souls to meet their destiny
Set already by inexorable fate
That made the gulf between 
The two of you
Though in his heart you are always seen
As a special, and intervening star.
