All These Things

Sometimes I feel like a restless ocean.
Sometimes I feel like a flaming biplane.
Sometimes I feel like a saxophone.

Swim me.
Save me.
Play me.
Swim me.
Save me.
Play me.

Sometimes I feel like a copper sculpture.
Sometimes I feel like a cactus.
Sometimes I feel like a sycamore seed.

See me.
Touch me.
Catch me.
See me.
Touch me.
Catch me.

All these things I am.
Beautiful and insane.
Nonconformist.
Explorer.
Kamikaze pilot.
Savage and sublime.
Peaceful and powerful.
Passionate
and I can't help but love you.

Sometimes I feel like an angry stallion.
Sometimes I feel like a kite.
Sometimes I feel like a cage.

Tame me.
Fly me.
Free me.
Grow me.
Love me.
Know that
you hold me
but never meet me.
