And this alone
Lighthouse keeper. 
When I was a child I wanted to be a lighthouse keeper. 
A Shepherd. 
When I was a child I wanted to be a shepherd. 
Now I am a poet. 
A light flashing across the sea of words;
ghosting the bloomers of the moon clouds;
thrashing the rocky coast of understanding. 
Aloud now! I want to be! 
I will be! I damn well will be!!
But I was not. 
Turn out the light, 
please?
