Fire Within Me

I don't wish to reach On tiptoe

To touch a glowing moon

Merely a reflection.

If I could I'd stretch and touch

The blazing sun

With fingers unscorched

By dazzling energy.

If I could I'd leave As fast as I could go

To anywhere I've never been

I want to see it all, New buildings - Old.

Babbling, unfamiliar voices And strange faces.

I want to climb To heights unheard of

Till my head is really in the clouds.

I want to write

Until there are no more Words,

And I've said all I can say.
