Word candy for those who wait
Like good things, gone for those who are too late
Certainly not I
Never got an invitation
Spoken without hesitation
Without doubt, without reservation
Travel the world on a whim
Across the Pacific I would swim
Out of a plane in the sky
Certainly scared but still I’d dive
Through cumulonimbus clouds from so high
Steal a taste of heaven as I go by
I don’t want to ruin it so I close my eyes
Hope the god above will be my eyes
With an exhale of a deep breath
Vision is restored as are the lungs in my chest
The small earth grows quickly
With the rapidly rushing rain I fall swiftly
Droplet and man, one in the same
I clinch my teeth preparing to bear the pain
Into the Earth I crash and speak your name
In few words can I find such release
In fewer lips can I discover eternal peace
If it all happens too fast I may forget to say please
And if I don’t ask, you cannot deny permission
Remind me of the taste that’s bestowed to blind men vision
Wake up from this dream and finally stop wishing
She’s not at the bottom of a bay that you’ll find fishing
Live or be forgotten, risk and see what’s always been missing
Reality is perception- perceive perfection as our lips kissing.
sweet sentiments,
