Watcher of the Void

Craig W. Steele

—with thanks to Robert Frost

Were I a watcher of the void,
I’d work for free to count the stars,
enjoy a lifetime so employed
were I a watcher of the void.
All other jobs I’d scorn, avoid,
so I could write in my memoirs,
“I was a watcher of the void,
my soul set free by counting stars.”
