Honest Yearnings

What I want from life...

I yearn to be a whole being,

Strength found in every section.

An array of arrows to my quiver,

And a spherical perception.

I want to fathom why all caged birds sing,

And understand their woe.

Only then can I aid and offer ease,

Because of their struggle I'll know.

To deliver sound that's marked as fine,

Through simply keys and string.

Compelling music lifts the lowest,

May the ones with little find everything.

I wish to speak to many peoples,

A difference in mother tongues no matter.

To divulge in culture and more wild ordeals,

Prove life paints an ever-changing pattern.

To reach all cusps of planet Earth,

Emerged in the science of different faces.

Devour the colours of our planet,

Sample all flavours from all places.

But most I'd love to be content,

Content until forever is no more.

For She to join me in my quest,

Only then can I cease knowing I soared.
