Within
I aspire to be a sunbeam, soft and bright,
A gentle breeze that whispers through the night.
A brushstroke of color, vibrant and free,
A droplet of the ocean, wild and carefree.
A novice dream, a wanderer's cloak,
A prayer to the divine, a heartfelt invocation.
The fragrance of a rose, that fills the air,
A traveler's final destination, beyond compare.
A love letter, penned with passion and fire,
An endless emotion, that never tires.
I yearn to be tha
t feeling, that forever stays,
A sentiment that time cannot erase, in endless ways.
Within me, a hope takes shape and fades,
A longing born, and withered, in endless shades.
I craft a new aspiration each dawn's light,
And erase it, as night's shadows take flight.
I search for myself, in the depths of my soul,
A writer and reader, in a lifelong role.
I author my own story, with every passing day,
And read the lines, of my heart's own way.
