I Want

 

I want to find the source of all things good

And, stand in the place where it stood

The day it placed flesh on my soul

 

I want to take a journey to a far off place

And, look into another human's face

And, feel love without language

 

I want to run to the base of a mountain

And, stand in amazement for all it's seen

I want to fall from the sky without a net waiting catch me

And, see if life slows down as the ground approaches

And, see who flashes before my eyes

 

I want to learn new questions to ask

Contentedness in answers I already have

And, learn humility when I brag

 

I want to plunge into a relationship that terrifies me

To learn the worth in those who advise me

And, find out who I should listen to

 

I want to turn to the face of a perfect stranger

And, ask the source of their deepest fear and moment of greatest happiness

I want to cut the heart of all matters and know what matters most

And, know that truth can both hurt and heal

And, feel both happening to me

 

I want to find the source of all my longing

And, curse and bless it in the same breath

And, thank it for all it's taught me
