I want to fill my senses, with the leaves on autumn days
to make time stop, like frozen caps on peaceful, sleeping lakes
to reach the depths within my soul, like the moon touches the shore
Leaving my footprints on the heart like the robin on the snow
Fireworks and campfires raging , feeling the heat of every spark
A speck floating in the water under a blaze of skylit stars
Bathing in the mist of a springtime early morning
A fierce storm swept away, forceful and sweeping without warning
Using every means that my body can acquire
Being everything I am, is all my heart desires

Gorgeous piece. Well done.
You painted such a beautiful picture with your words and the ending was so uplifting!
To be content--with who you are, what you have, all that surrounds you--is a wondrous gift.
