I am drowning silently in dreams of others
those fragile footsteps left by wandering eyes
in the stillness of a summer night -
somewhere in these truths
are the eyes I long to see
the eyes that make my heart blaze with fiery passion
for breathing
for living
for longing to feel the sun's warmth on my face
in a far-away land
longing to be touched by people
I've yet to meet
and know
in the deepest wells of my mind's imagination
that intimate yearning for a place to call home.
