"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it…"


- Roald Dahl


I have changed.


I twirl (everlasting) around,
I swirl in (everlasting) night;
I whirl, one mass of alien ground.
I am the innocent might.


Whether it is within or without,
I have changed. My new surface is smooth
And sterile as sodium chlorite.


Lights of many colors-
my dear celestial ‘night dawn’-
You will be new and different,
The night no longer woebegone.


Shine for me.
Burn through me.
Live on.


I shudder, but this is pure reality-
I will never be the same,
For I am rock that is twisted by these elements
Much like the wind pulls a candle flame.


But I will pull you into me still.
One day this will
Simply be something we overcame.


Oh. Oh, it seems my core is wrenched
In a new direction.
Oh, I become the me of now
And I change with every revolution.


And my illustrious moment of inertia,
You have found your rightful home
In a new state of heaven.
