Summary: All he has been... and who he is now



After choosing my path,
no hesitation in my heart…
binding my future to visions
dancing in the night sky… beckoning,
whatever the cost

After the dreams were dreamed,
worlds explored between the stars…
a light of wonder in our eyes,
all things possible…
with passion enough, and time

After the crusader, the avenger, the damaged…
all innocence lost, my soul darkened
by things done and undone…
my peace regained
by winning peace for others

After the fame, the shame, the accolades
deserved or gravely accepted...

My true home, my greatest happiness,
is here in your arms
wherever we find ourselves. _________________________________________
