A Boy and a Barn...Oct 11 '06 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line A poem about Clark. No Lex in sight. I promise... This poem was inspired largely by a barn calendar that we sell at the calendar kiosk where I work. Woo. Anyway, it's about Clark, teetering between Smallville and Superman... Destiny A telescope. A window to the stars, A peek at worlds so far beyond this one, A glimpse of Venus, Jupiter and Mars And planets powered by some distant sun. How strange this link to Clark's ancestral land Is situated in this dusty loft, As humble as the universe is grand, As cozy as his mother's voice is soft. For years, it's been his refuge and his nest, A place where his two destinies can meet, Where he can hide away, reflect and rest From being son and savior strong and fleet. He's come to love the wholesome smell of hay, The cows he's fed, the fields he's helped to plant, And yet, while loyalty demands he stay, A higher duty tells him that he can't. Must he abandon all that he's become, The habits he has come to know so well, The ones he loves, his lifestyle and his home, Embracing his bold future as Kal-El? It cannot be, for life allows him choices, And when a grim decision must be made, He will hear Jonathan and Martha's voices And be a Kent until the last stars fade.  |
