| I Want To Remember by � chibilunacat I want to remember the way things look Spinning in the sand- I want to watch the water crawling Over the dusty heated land, I want to feel the sunset colors Of blue and purple and pink, I simply want to find a place Where I can sit and think. I want to remember the way it was, When people went outside, I want to see the faces of angels- While amongst the clouds they hide, I want to touch the chilling air, While the breath of winter sighs- I want to watch a million colors Paint a garden with butterflies. I want to remember the way things live At every point in time, I want to know to where I go, Which life I must next mime. I want to feel the generations Bring back a healthy earth again, I want to know that when I go It'll be from now to then. I want to remember the way it is With both feet on the ground, The air around me stills to silence Where peace is finally found, I only need peace within myself, To feel, to see, to know- That suns still set and flowers bloom, And the water continues to flow. I want to remember the way I am, The way I was, and will soon be, I want to harness the strange commotion- Deep inside of me; I want to dance inside the flame That births the next new things, The things that open eyes and minds, And all the life it brings. I want to remember the way of the world, And all its many souls- The paths of many, yet of one Achieving or failing their goals. I want to be the water lapping, And the colors in the sky- I want to be the things of peace, But I'll never quite know why. Terra Mae 5/28/2002 |
