That's Worth Three Dollars

Oh, you writers of precious words, you artists, painters, musicians, and magicians; you bring me back to youth, forgotten, to questions never answered. I grow stale in time, I yearn for life, sublime. As I wander from star to star and question where we are, I forget the elements of life, regret lost years of strife. As I cruise the universe, so large, I muse on waters below; I listen to the lines of masters, view the canvas filled with blood, and wine. I hear refrains stuck in my brain; wash away my sins, I implore. Oh, you writers of precious words, you bring me back where I was before. The magnum force of your words, so bold, tell of life, foretold. Ever relentless, always discerning, I lust for the intelligence of the unknown. You pen, and repine; your world, your tools, mark my journey, the life of the Fool. I am not ashamed to savor and admit my envy at each line I read that touches my soul, that fills my need. As your wings flutter, and your skies fill with birds, I gather and migrate; Oh, you writers of precious word
