Can I Be...

Was listening to a Scott Stapp
song the other day...
picked up a pen...
and this came out.


I really like it!

Can I Be...

Can I be an island

A self sustaining life

Running on cylinders --- full

Throttled to the max

Can I be that island

Without strife

Tensions within me --- pull

As I try my best to relax

Can I be more

Than an ocean filled with doubt

Surrounding my island --- treasure

A pirates creed

Can I be that ocean

Water's clear water's without

Skillfully maneuvering --- taking measure

Fruit-filled limbs only

Life beyond the seed

Can I be a sun

Refreshing yellow glow

Leaving behind shapes --- a stillness

Shadows revealing a tale

Can I be that sun

A brightness  a warmth  a show

Caressing your emotions --- a willingness

To embrace my rays

They never fail

Can I be a tick in time

Just listen to that click

As your heart moves from 1 to --- 2

Such safety is found inside

Can I be that tick in time

You are the candle I am the wick

My strength & love flows & believes --- in you

That time stands still as 1 & 2

You & I

Colide

Can I be your vision

Can I be your season

Can I be your present

Can I be your song

Can I be your future

Can I be...
