That thing
We all feel
But can't explain
I believe in that

Gripping the clouds
To fly upon their wings
Heaven's delight
Every time it sings

Tell me father
Tell me now
Show me the way
Show me how

To educate
To show them the light
Teach them when to bend
Advise them when to fight

We demand change
While staying the same
Want the power to fight?
Pick a different flame

You show me your form
But leave out your function
That comes later
After a dinner or a luncheon

Trading our stories
Sharing our facts
The image is clear
Now to relax

Brick by brick
The mortar we lay
The hands are our lives
We live everyday

So please take care
Of the actions you take
They are the blocks
Of the life we create

I've seen where those images
Take root
Trying to till them
New flowers need to grow

I like writing about you
It comes so easy and natural
Like the grass that grows
The moon that shines
Or the happy thoughts
when your on my mind
It is effortless and enjoyable
Like enjoying the wind on my skin
The sun on my back
And you in my eyes

The palms of my hands
Haven't forgot your touch
Your laughter still rings
Gentle echos in my mind
The look in your eyes
When I catch you looking
I look forward to
Creating those moments again

It's 2:17 am
And I'm thinking about you
Slightly infused with the juice of the earth
Blessed by herbal essence
I wish to hear your words
Just so I can hear your sound
A melody of pleasure
Notes that paint a picture
Depth that the seas could not rival
Height only the heavens could overcome
You see
Just wanting your skin
Isn't enough for me
My desire for one is a conviction
A commitment to try
One day
One moment at a time
