When I ask you how you are
Especially when we are just sitting at a bar
Please do not give a list of grievances
Or things you dislike
Complaints
And just spew hate
Tell me where your visions take you
Show me you wear wings under your clothes
You dream in color
And love to mix hues
Then I can help you
Then I will help those dreams come true
Because I will know you are not blue
Not just living outside of you
But building on what you came with
A Jedi
And not a Sith
I did arrive on earth to grant your wish
And this meeting I planned it
I was waiting
Not really anticipating
Just prepared
I reviewed my notes on you
When I clasped your palm
Greeted you
And looked in your eyes
To you
It might have been a surprise
When you saw me as an angel
No need to tell me
Cause long ago I realized
Counted every day until this day
When I could return to earth
Made of water and dirt
In a normal body
Not one of ether and only things holy
Because I like being in the congregation
Not the choir
And definitely not the pulpit
For it is not me
I was the one who was taught
At the alter of the Lord
And it was there I felt the fire of their sword
And the power of their words
Vaporized and learned all about death
Until the sweet words of life
Knew the power of resurrection
And was told to serve as part of their creation of perfection
Spent too many eternities as only a divine reflection
Overlighting souls both pious and lost
It was a burden
It was a cost
But I knew this would be my reward
A human life back on earth
One filled with love and simple artistic creations
And I am happy to help you
Never judge you
Remind you
Yes of course the Lord is above you
And me
So just tell me I am pretty
And how you enjoy my little city
Or my D-town
When I leave the bar
I’ll just wink
And say see you around
