Perfect
Everything I've always wanted
In the blue sky, swept fluently
over whispering grass that
bend limply under a gentle wind
Perfect
Everything I've always wanted
In the waves shimmering under a low sun,
In the waves, crashing clumsily
on hastily drawn lines and crumbling castles
Perfect
Everything I've always wanted
In pages forced apart against
a gale of warm wind
in pages smelling of musty, meandering mines,
In pages, dyed with ink spilling from a hurrying hand
Perfect
Everything I've always wanted
In your laugh, as we giggle over fries,
feuding over the the right memory
over dropped calls and missed chances
Perfect
Everything I've always wanted
In a tune rushing past humming woods
swaying reluctantly, unwilling to
stir from their deep slumber
Perfect
Everything I've always wanted
In your arms, your eyes alight with
a life that spins me dizzy,
in your voice that carry your easy kindness
Perfect
Everything I've always wanted
Smiling into the sun, my mind
afire with a dream of a breathing future
of a life that spins me dizzy
Perfect
Everything I've always wanted
the darkness around me recedes
and I wander into a quiet light
