The Dark Crystal
A humble tribute to a favorite movie
a tall story by director Jim Henson
who later created the Muppets
While most people struggle to create
and save their best works for last
this was not the case for this superstar
On the surface maybe a movie for kids
but no one is fooled by this masterpiece
young and old there are layers for all
Hansen's movie is pure genius
and touched me to my very core
in a haunting surreal way
It deals with innocence in the midst of
the balance of good and evil in the world
definitely a must see movie
This classic dates back to 1982
but its subtle spiritual aspects
stayed with me through life
