i want beautiful things out of life!
i want to be the only one standing on a beach, for once.
i want to see a bluebird fly.
i want forests and blueberry bushes that are falling with fruit,
sunsets out over lakes where no one lives.
i want mountains, and not just driving through them!
long grey lines on the horizon,
thunderclouds gathering at the peaks,
fog in the valleys.
i want long beautiful nights with similar minds,
long conversations on god, on life, on art,
long cups of coffee and deep draughts of intellect.
i want a home all painted in color,
monochromatic paintings,
a full kitchen and several thousand smiles.
i want to walk through foreign cities and hear a language i don't speak,
i want to experience someone else's way of life,
i want hot dark tea in big mugs.
i want a crackling fireplace in a west coast lodge,
the sun long gone but the waves still crashing,
i want to be entranced by the moon.
i want the beautiful things out of life,
and i want to enjoy them with you.
