My Heart Was Never Full

            
From the Adventures of Derek the Red





            (Derek tells his story)

            
Fame was mine 

            Known 

            All over the Universe 

            But 

            My heart was never full 

            Defeated all the best fighters in the known galaxy 

            A champion 

            Who reached the peak of success 

            Yet so unhappy 

            I heard about Tulip Town 

            And those stones 

            That come from the tulips 

            You say old man that the stones are free 

            Still I realize that it will cost me something 

            The old man told him the price 

            Derek stood silent ... tears flowed upon his red beard 

            A journey complete

            
 

            
More to come next month.
