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...
