Ed's Song "Hero With A Thousand Faces" and Al's Song, "Soul Within The Steel"

[binaryalchemist]

1.The seed that births the Hero isn’t nurtured in the womb

A drop of ink ignites a life in a writer’s lonely room

He’s born of someone’s fancy-someone just like you or I

But their dream contains a spark that will not die

2. A feather-stroke of sumi ink upon a page of white

A pencil sketch on legal pad-a young man springs to life

I really like the Hero one! I was kinda all "Hell yeah!"a few times while I was reading it. :D I can almost see the passion you wrote that with, esp. after the triple fail.

Thanks! I was so furious at Cow...this and 'Half Lives" are me returning fire, so to speak. You know the old adage, "NEVER piss off a Bard--because people remember songs....and your name scans to Greenesleeves". I just got final confirmation from the committee just a minute ago, so it will be shared in the songbook--and I hope somewhere Joseph Cambell, author of the book "Hero With A Thousand Faces"--a big fan of comic books and Star Wars--is grinning on the other side of the Gateway...how he would have loved the mythic journey of Ed and Al and Harry...
