Was the world dark?
Or was it my eyes that couldn’t see?
I plunged through the ethereal darkness
Tripping, falling, succumbing to the frost

You descended upon me
As a sun would rise over the horizon
Bringing long forgotten light into my eyes
Illuminating the nooks and crevices of the world

Into the heavens you took me
Taught me how to fly in amongst the clouds
Where I looked upon the path of a thousand stars
And started to forge my own path through the skies

And now that I am in faraway Andromeda
I can’t help to look back at the faraway light that was you
You had lifted me from the darkness
And helped me find my own way through this universe

Thank you, my teacher amongst the stars

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”
