I want to write like you
Flowing hills and lively times
Seen in the minds eye
Exquisite on the paper
Life breathed into words
But I know my limitations
And my many faults
Putting pen to paper
Not as lovely as you
But a voice whispers
“Just write”
I want to dance like you
Willow-o-wisp on the stage
Clouds supporting you
As you glide along the way
Soaring higher than high
But I know my clumsiness
Two left feet to show
Stumbling, bumbling
Nothing great … I know
A little louder I hear
“Just dance”
I want to sing like you
Into the starry sky
Clear as a bell
Floating on high
Reaching heavens lofty heights
But I know my inability
For harmony, for tone
A voice screeching along
Glass shattered by a stone
Now half screaming rings
“Just sing”
I want to love like you
Compassion, passion mingling
Embracing, soaring farther
Purer then ever
A love that endures
But I know…
Interrupted
The voice screams softly
“Just love”
