A poem about life from 2020 that I finally finished September 2022
What do I want?
I don’t know.
Nothing.
Everything.
I want to lay under a cloudless sky
And look up at the stars.
I want to listen to the song of the wind
As it whispers through the trees,
Sharing tales of years gone by
And truths eternal.
I want to see the stories of every living thing
And listen to the beating of their heart-
Their hopes, their dreams, their sorrows.
I want to live in the light
And fully embrace life and living,
Yet remember the darkness out there.
And still have the courage to face it.
I want to live with my heart bursting with hope,
Arms spread wide, palms outstretched,
Soaking up every moment that comes my way,
Every good and beautiful thing brighter
And more sweet for the darkness
That did not overcome.
I want everything and yet nothing
But to worship and rest
In the cathedral of your love
