I WISH I (WE) WERE ALIVE
I wish I were alive in ways I am not now:
An astronaut, an engineer, a builder of cities, a frontiersman
No shadows in day, no chill at night
I wish I were alive in ways I am not now:
A physicist, a mendicant priest, explorer who wanders all unknown lands
No dark clouds at dawn, moon always full
I wish I were alive in ways I am not now:
A Greek genius, entrepreneur, a Viking sailing the blue whale road
Clear sky at morning, red skies at night
I wish I were alive in ways I am not now:
Poet to make Homer blush, Man who stepped out of Time, Fleet Captain, the Invisible One, Pilot of the Dawn at the Night of No More
I wish I were alive in ways I am not now:
Happy Apostle of Christ, a young boy at play, Grandfather Christmas, the Wizard who dared, Inventor of Futures so Bright that they shone like the Rise of the Sun on a whole different world
And what prevents me from any of this?!
Only me, and
Me Alone
It is time I arose and became my True Self.
It is time I were alive in the ways I should Always Have Been… join me and we both shall Live
