Listen to poem:
A certain lady is going to learn all about you, First starts slow with guiding hands; I am in the walls. Every corner of the room, whether I like to be or not, Entering a new period of time, I've found myself in the spotlight. Brief and charming, eternally polite, I have surrendered my abode. Remaining at arm's length if awkwardness arises, Never too close. You're mistaken if ''control'' or lack of... I can keep judgment at a distance for so long. They have kept with the times; I've let myself go. A shimmering light of existence through a glint in their eye, No need to fret; I shall convince myself that is a lie. A new lease of life? Hard to accept, I work through the night. Cannot allow myself to be disturbed, Though at her beckoning call. Serenity shall fill these halls, Funny how silence can be too loud; the wind blows. I am yet to coat the canvas with a picture in mind, Coming into view, I am lost in this fog. Stepping back from the edge, The horizon firmly fixed, right where I left it. This story shall continue. The Resilience Born in Fire Those Who Ride With Giants
