Another Time Another Sleep Poem by Anthony Han

Is there a soul out here
In life.
A scientist A doctor
A researcher A humanitarian
A politician A visionary
A leader A person
That will believe me

I will never cease to...
Never cease to doubt
That they will not dismiss
The aura I possess
The experience of a lifetime
A mind such as mine

The promise is in my heart
I am no ghost no outer existence
I am a ideal, a hope a living dream
That so many desire
Since the beginning of thought

That so many can just be
Relieved, even me
I will never be possible
Still I will wait for the one
Generation to be inspired
By the stories I can tell
The lives I have seen
The beings that I have known
The objects that I befriended
The love of the universe I hold
For there is a truth
In all that I am

A cog of the Universe
Small or large
It does not matter
What matters is, who are you?
Might you be a equal?
Might you be better than mine?
Where are you?
A whisper will be fine

Only fate will tell
Only time will laugh
Only life will ease
Only then will we see

That life is a canvas
The spotlight is lit
The actors are set
But there is no script

It is a natural play
A wonderful musical
That never should be
So grim so make believe

There are rules yes
And there be principles
Of all sorts all around
Some new some old
Not absolute as much as us

Does that mean we should feel down?
Does that mean we should shut ourselves in?

Perhaps we should
Perhaps we need to

But here is a fact
When you act it out
The magic is everywhere
Anywhere and right here

Moderation is the key
That we must forge for ourselves
That will fit the right lock
Of space and time

To know our limits
Our strengths our flaws
At the very least

If you a child I say to you
You are a child of life
We will never truly grow old

Although we may perish
We only grow strong
Determined and proud
We need each other

To better direct each other
So mistakes that shouldn't be
Don't come to be in our worlds
Each and everyone of us is special

Does that mean no one is?
I don't think so
Because if we can all
Just understand one by one
Maybe even all for one

The word Musketeer comes to me

Just that little dot
Then are we not bigger than it?
Are we not much more beautiful?

So pretty, so pretty so very much so
A miracle by itself
Light of one from one to another

Even if one were to fade
Another might just shine brighter

Life is just that simple
We just shroud it because we want
Some sort of promise that...

So don't frown, you may get a wrinkle
If you tear, then do accordingly
If you wish to cry
Then once in a long while try

Just remember what key you match
There isn't much to know about it

Just be true to yourself
If you feel you too late
Just remember that key
Is always being forged

For when the day comes
You may not even notice
That you just understand

Do not rush but walk
To be fast isn't always good
Walk with your generation
You may drift apart
You might be rivals
You might not even think the same
You don't even need to talk

To know you are all connected
A connection the same with those
Of the past and those of the future
For we will always
Walk across this old plain called life

A road always clear and always
Remember this just might be...

Who you are?
