I WANT TO WALK AGAIN BY THE WATERS

I want to walk again by the waters, 
in quiet joy & contemplation, I want to feel 
my heart opening as dawn breaks softly across 
the waves, I want to embrace yet again all the Beauty 
it pains my heart to be without, my Spirit aches 
for all that I have forsaken, all that I have almost forgotten 
in my useless quest for fleeting knowledge & the elusive 
magics of a mind afire, my vision is alive with imaginings 
& dances only the wild wind knows, too long have I 
lingered where the bright moon's whispers are perilously 
close to madness in the reflections of mystic eyes, I must 
cleanse myself in the pure simplicity of the sky, I want 
to stand yet again where the Cosmos loves me, where 
the stars dance & laugh & remember, I want to be 
the man I could have been, the poet & not the warrior, 
the lover & not the pilgrim, I want to look into your eyes 
& know I have wasted nothing, I want to to know 
that we burn with a gentle fire, that I have lived 
in the truth of your arms & brought you the blessings 
of fulfillment, I want to be your greatest wish & a hero 
worthy of the name, I want to kiss you & dance in the 
moments that never end...
