The Poetry Of T Owen
            Stark


            
 


            
Rush

            

            
And I shall face the hordes

            The gathering masses

            Loud and frenzied

            For they

            Like I

            Await the snakes and arrows

            
We take our seats like good children

            In a classroom

            The hum lowers

            The darkness of the stage fills with shadows

            There is silence for a brief moment

            The first chord emanates as light ignites

            And all that are there become one

            An underlying theme

            Of this natural science

            Of these moving pictures

            Of our freewill

            
On this night

            All the worlds a stage 

            And all of us move

            Closer to the heart
