In burning flowing words that ask

To love to hate to feel the ache

Of existence

I grow I fall

I seek the stars

All the time when I’m awake

I live I die I keep my vows

While promises lead me astray

I sleep I wake I stay up late

To talk my thoughts away

I watch the waves and lose myself

My mind goes all the way

I learn and I teach

I wet my feet

And danced in the rain today
