I want to walk
About as if forever
I’m to be around,
I want to feel
The texture
Of the ground
That be the world
Which so surrounds
The life I am,
I want to know
I can so look
With assiduity
That I may feel
With all my being,
While I learn to touch
The air I breathe…
I want to taste
Of life and so devour
Hungrily each morsel
Of every shade
Or colour,
I want to smell
The fragrances
That embrace
My existence,
Till I no longer be,
But not until
My spirit opts to fly
To find a place
Worthy of life’s race,
Hence so to glimpse
Thru wizened eyes
That can but see,
Living life
Be matters
Of body and soul!
