Starman Poetry Contest, Sponsored by Tom Woody. Date written: 11/21/2004
I am... quintessential optimism; the rainbow you see after the rain is gone. I am... order amid the chaos; l reconstruct life's crumbled foundation. I am... beauty in ugliness; don't avert your eyes! I am... a celestial messenger, so prick up your ears. I'm asking you to choose faith over fear; things aren't as bad as they seem. I'm asking you to walk out on darkness, to me, the light. I'm asking you to believe in dreams; they are real and true. I'm asking you to look to the sky when you're lost; I am your North star. David Bowie sang a song about me; yes, you guessed it I am... Starman, but, I'm also... guess who?
