So I sit here in this chair and wonder,
As it r a i n s

I sit in this chair and wonder...
of this gift each of us contains.

And though you all may not have felt it.
As i sit here...
Listening to b i r d s .

I wonder...
We are the actors
Who play parts through our words.

Roleplayers some might call us..
Yet tome, this is not true
For each of these creations you play...
Each character l i v e s in you.

For who else can picture that wolf...
Or a dragon on the wing?
For who can place those words...
To describe a child's i n n o c e n c e ...
Asleep on a swing?

Who can mold some beaten phrases,
To capture a love-maker's joy?
And who can recreat some scenes...
Of an elven girl or boy?

Who can become the slave,
Whipped and torn by their master?
And who can describe an enchanted snow lepard's coat?
"sparkling with a l a b a s t e r ..."

My friends, don't you see it?
Each of us...
With a talent in disguise!

To the roleplayers of AOL.
To your gift,

Never begin y o u r goodbyes...

So I sit here in this chair...
Aned wonder as the stars reveal.
And I realize we are amazing.
