"Orion's Belt"
By: Jason Conner
(C) 03/11/98. (Revised 03/12/98)
It is but by dark candle light that I write this one, on the eve of what has been for me a day of 10, a night borne coldly into each vision of truth, and a watcher that she has become: clad in darkness.
It is within this cold and quiet room, in a house that bears none of my name, that I put pen to paper and spew forth the mass of words that have enveloped my soul tonight.
I cannot, or dare not (to offend), begin to say that which my heart feels here on this page. It will forever be locked away with a sea of turmoil and confusion. A sky filled with storms and only will peace come when a lul is felt passing by. These rambles are but the steady teadious mind raptures that I feel, nothing more. Would it offend you to read on, then I beg of you to stop. Stop now, before you are crushed under the weight of a heavy soul that cries out in a time of need, only to be silienced by it's own heart. A cry for union, and a wall of protection. One between the other.

I have changed my last request, as used to be here. I would ask that the time of plans that have already been take flight over my foolish cowardis. Ignore the wailings of a weak heart and enjoy the moon to it's fullest tonight. Show each other that you love one another... Tonight, ignore my heart and dream... If the vanishing was because of me, then tonight I shall not be here to cause it to happen, as in my dream... I will not be the problem of love!


in but a few scant hours,
Grandmother will peek over the hills
and look down upon her children
and see me staring back at her.

It is there, under her eye,
that a new man shall be.

Never more will you see me
As you see me now,
until the Belt of Orion
is joined in one line.

I wil be scarce of desire,
Strong of will (Fates allow),
and a bastille of courage
and patience like none have ever seen.

I will continue to fly
And I will wait forever and a day.

But never more will you see me
As you see me now,
Until the Belt of Orion
Is joined in one line.
