I am
I am like a butterfly on the beauty of the flower
I am
I am like the cigarette burning down on the lips of your pretty face
I am
l am like the passion of a brilliant man who will never be anything
like the waves as they break and sink into this sand
like the birds song sung in the depths of the woods never to be heard by us
like the sky shattering sound of thunder in the middle of the ocean
like the blood bled by the soldier fighting for his life
and i am sitting here near the earth
wanting nothing
needing nothing
i will wait and see what there is to come
seeing the sun
dreaming like every other animal on this earth
hearing the beat of the light in our minds
and creating with it a wholesome type of world
that is fitting to us and us alone
I am alone
and so are you
we islands will see from a distance the kinds of things each other can do
and be astounded by it
I am in wonder by you
by all of you
please keep on
you know what to do
so keep on doing it
