I want to drive.
I want to ride the open
road like a pirate rides their ship
I want to own the
world
And smile at it and
see it wave hello to me
I want to yell
And yell
And YELL
And scream at the Sun,
To thank it for the
freedom.
I want to look beside
me at the freckled queen
With high brown
stockings and eyes that look into Heaven.
I want to open my soul
until I can feel my eyelids stretch and grow with wonder
And I want to feel a
cathedral in my chest
With Gregorian voices
resounding all through it,
Singing of divinity.
I want to own myself
and every dare I choose to take
And even though I
leave a gorgeous Dawn behind,
I’m here to seize the
day,
One day…
I’ve said goodbye so
many times it has become hello
To every other soul I
find, just lost throughout the world
I’ve left so many
homes by now that every time I go
I know I’ll find another
one, they line up in a row.
I stumble on the
doorstep to the world,
The doorstep into it-
I’m nothing but a
daredevil coward that cannot fall asleep,
As I’ve been cursed
with wakefulness and lands I cannot keep.
But who needs land
when I have Universes in my mind
And stars clinking in
my ears
Like silver bells of
choir boys
On winter days
With snowed-on trees?
I AM BLESSED.
I’m blessed to live
and have a choice
And make the choice
To sing with all my
lungs in open fields
Where none can hear
And none disrupt my voice.
I. AM BLESSED.
With questions I can
ask and maps I can explore,
With water I can still
pour over me
And grapes meant for
the Gods.
With moments I can ask
for more
With memories that
will not flee
And a girl that jumps into
wild rivers
And has them bow down
to their knees
As she swims against
the currents
And kindly greets the
trees.
I am in love with the
world.
And so, I passionately
hate it.
It offers all I’ll
ever need
But never tools to take
it.
And so, I’ll have to
plant a seed,
And see if it will
make it.
