All Heaven In Sight Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

As a writer,
I create my own freedom

And as a writer,
I invent my own friends

As a writer,
I espouse my own truth

And as a writer,
my will never bends

As a writer,
I travel the world

And as a writer,
that journey's within

As a writer,
I dive for more pearls

And as a writer,
each moment begins

As a writer,
the moon rises at dawn

And as a writer,
the sun burns through the night

As a writer,
my words play immortal

And as a writer
—all heaven in sight
