Maybe I am still not quite fully grown up but I am a lot closer.

Maybe I am still not quite fully grown up but I am a lot closer.

If I stand still

Will I see tall trees breathing

Flowers turning

To the sun

Raindrops falling

One by one

Fires burning

In floating barges

Can I see the wind blowing

Will I ever know

If I can reach you

Fingers curling

Holding onto history

Will I ever teach myself

To remember

How to see rainbows

Know the whispered secrets

Of the fairies

Can I hear the air sing

With the voice of an angel

Dance with gay abandon

As the stars

Pepper the sky

With magic

Ride a box car

Crest a wave

Reach into myself

Find more than

Was there yesterday

Be better than I was

The day before

Stand still long enough

To find out.
