Orion rests on his side tonight,his eyes all aglow and his bow drawn so tight.

I can see him staring down at you, and I know just what he's going through

His heart rushes and races, his knees they grow weak, and his heart becomes tangled in the soft words that you speak.

He's seen eons of beauty up close and afar, he's witnessed the birth of our planets and the fleeting bright fury in trillions of stars.
Hes watched the sun circle 'round and the moon do it to, but he's never seen anything as lovely as you.

I love you Brenda Renee

About Burke

Burke is not a writer, author, poet or even a very good story teller. He just believes in this amazing shared experience that we are all cast into.

Lori (Burke's mother) began teaching him to read and write at a very early age. When Kindergarten started, Burke was already reading newspapers (he had a strange interest in the obituaries), writing poetry and short stories.

"There's nothing like thinking about our existence and place long enough to let descriptions of those memories happen. The way words crawl and curl through vivid memories is incredibly beautiful to me." - Burke

"A TRAGEDY LARGER THAN ALL THAT WE KNOW TO BELIEVE THAT THIS TRIP THROUGH THE STARS MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO OWN, SOMETHING TO CONTROL. THIS SLIVER OF TIME, THIS FRAGILE, FABULOUS AND FEARFUL ACCELERATION TOWARDS THE END IS TO BE ENJOYED, ENDURED, BUT NEVER, EVER CONTROLLED”. - BURKE
