He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer

I can see for miles
Sometimes
I can see for miles and miles
But still have no clue
Where the road will take me
I can see for miles and miles
But still have no clue
Where the road will take me

A flower bloom
Of porcelain
A dozen tiles
Or more
Of porcelain
A dozen tiles
Or more
A stupa grand
And towering
Each tile placed
By hands of men
Into the bone dry sky
I cross the valley floor
Under the gaze of giants
The land’s sentinels for time
Long forgotten
Under the gaze of giants
The land’s sentinels for time
Long forgotten
Moral Victories
Moral victories
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination

On the other side
The great beyond
Beckons with
Adventure’s promise

Beckons with
Adventure’s promise
The Shadow I cast
Unlike the many monuments I have seen
The mountains and skyscrapers
All so grand and inspiring
The mountains and skyscrapers
All so grand and inspiring
I will be remembered
Not for the appearance I present
But for the shadow I cast
Nature’s little trials
Sometimes we do conquer
Nature’s little trials
With graceful power and beauty
A blessed act of style
Nature’s little trials
With graceful power and beauty
A blessed act of style
Should we grow too cocky
Nature, she will smile
With graceful power and beauty
Until the rain did fail
Thus they shone
Close to bone
A feat not
Taken lightly
Until
The rain
Did fail
The Golden Gate
Sometimes I remember
The extent of my privilege
To cross a bridge
From here to somewhere
The extent of my privilege
To cross a bridge
From here to somewhere
Other
Unfettered
Without risk
Without consequence
Without desperation
Somewhere better
To be
Somewhere different
To see
