For a Hero

They tell you to avoid the dark
I know that you won't
the night suits you too well

Question marks may loom large
edges may be sharp
but they don't frighten you

I imagine you a swan
gliding placid
through a world of concrete
and the cacophony
of shouts and horns

For My mother, RC, RMR, AH, and MM, my inspirations. May I always strive to follow your path.
