One day I
Will find one
Thing not many
Things and not
All things and
This one thing
Will sing the
Sweetest melody and
Light the heavens
By the tiniest
Of twinkle and
Make the dolphins
Giggle and leap
And the bear
Stand and roar
One day I
Will find this
One thing you
There are very
Few of us
That wish to
Be clipped caged
Instead we seek
To soar on
Invisible thermals above
Peaks spying the
Smallest things possible
Below us and
Then as we
Swoop we see
Garantua bigger than
Us and cower
But we are
Eagles meant to
Command and take
Even with words
Be my prey
And read me
Let me soar
Come with me
Aloft up high
When I think
Of my friends
I think of
A colorful pile
Of leaves each
One vibrant and
Each one a
Mystery but when
Brought together a
Cacophony of color
Creating a palette
So rich that
Even a rainbow
Remains very jealous
My fingertips dance
Across your cheekbones
Like a child
Over frosted panes
Of glass clearing
Away the humidity
Of tears that
Iciness mine or
Nature caused and
Of which I
Now dry hoping
To see the
World like the
Child through the
Glass and like
Me through your
Now drying eyes
There’s a difference
Between knowing love
And having love
Having implies absent
Yet knowing cannot
Be undone don’t
Worry about not
Having for surely
If you know
That you don’t
You know that
You do and
There’s the difference
