I Want to Expand

I want to expand
To experience more
To see more, to be more
To hear more, to feel more

To feel that high of adrenaline again
To scare myself every now and then
To remember that tomorrow is fiction
And the night has never been certain

To fall asleep with nothing left
To sleep through the night like I’m dead
To wake up with a plan in my head
And be just nuts enough to do what I said

To go to the top of a mountain before dawn
To take a picture, the only one
Of this brand new day, from this place
To watch the beautiful birth of day

To watch the people as they pass and go
Down at the park where they walk slow
And see the expressions on their faces
And maybe better understand this human race

To spend a week in the woods with a pack on my back
And watch the wren and the sparrow as they dart and dash
Feel the cold of a stream to take a bath
And feel the sun on my face, and the wind at my back

To have a few fans to listen to my songs
And have time to write music for every one
Some recording gear that’s easy to use
And a nice quiet place I could record it for you

I‘m done for the night, nothing else left to say
I hope you found humor in the words of this page
But also of wisdom, of something further than now
And I hope you have courage to live it out

This started with me wanting to describe, in a freestyle way, my desire to write songs about something different and turned into a poem about things I want to do, but just can't seem to.
