A Spark Of Light Through The Valley
Skyler Drevan

On the edge of eternity I have seen cloudy things

For instance, a tree that has an extra branch

If I look away just for a second, it disappears

Sometimes only the thought of it being there is enough

And I will follow my thoughts to where I'm being led

 

I have walked through valleys and glanced into

rooms and places full of angry black landscapes, lost old peasants,

But I've never had the time to enter and join the

old eccentrics and the eager to learn young students examining their past.

Oh, and, then again, there are more people

 

They often walk way in front or way behind

Places and faces without information, so distant and forgotten

And from a distance there are glances of people who stand

In the doorways laughing, or perhaps in heated

Arguments with students, who also leave when I approach

 

I have heard children shriek in vacant playgrounds,

and men and women laughing in silent libraries,

where shelves of books seem dustier than I remember

And do not allow them to be borrowed

I cannot find the librarian that once sat at the old desk

 

I've missed that librarian so much

She has taught me things that no one else has

How to treat the books like a fine wine

They do get older with age

As she has, perhaps I'll see her again one day

 

The journey of the day has gone

The amusement of the day is not far behind

There are many things left in this place

Things that I have never seen nor heard

But for a day, one sweet day, I saw, I saw it all
