It’s been a while since I’ve thought so clearly
Let me be your constant student of discovery,
Who navigates the empty halls,
To empty rooms,
Still filled with air,
But empty of spirit.
I can fill them up again
With pictures
Paintings
Woven blankets
Books
Chairs for two
Animals that go
“Woof” and “Mew”
Let me open up the windows,
Let the sunlight flow
Like glittered gold upon the ground
Make it warm
And when it’s night
We keep them open
To admire starry lights
We could trace their flow,
The pattern of Orion’s Belt and bow
still I know less of you
The more you grow
So I ask of you
Please let me be your student
And we shall move together
Though different in stride
Take my hand and we might
Glide
Let me discover those dark corridors
I never saw before
I squint my eyes
But nothing reaches sight
It is
Where light does not reach
Or ever kiss
If it did
I’d say it had never known such bliss.
I know it sounds pretty
Frilly
Or faint
Like a schoolgirls fantasy
But that is not
What I am trying to say
Hear me as i am
As i create
Let me be your student of discovery
And I might be your teacher
If I’m not too late.
