another somewhat sentimental sappy and ridiculous poem(12/26/98)

Another poem about love, another poem about life
Another record of joy, another page full of strife
Same old rhymes with my pencil on the page
A story, ceaseless to end, told upon my little stage
Never anything new to say, just one more rephrase
Sometimes my vision's clear, sometimes it's a haze
I turn to gaze as another event unfolds before my eyes
Watching the sun sink in the sky as another day dies
and I'm circling and I'm seeking, wishing on that star
Reaching past this chaos to find you where you are
And I would fly into forever even if I knew not the way
If it meant I'd find you and I could somehow stay
But it's a dream of mine at heart on this winter night
Curled at my window gazing out, let me be a light
A holiday of glad, yeah, I've enjoyed every part
A chance to give, to bring some cheer, share a bit of heart
Ah, but wouldn't it be nice to share it with you?
Maybe in forever you're thinking of me too...
There's a million people like me feeling the same
A million people like me just playing that waiting game
But I'm circling and I'm seeking and I'm, wishing on that star
not waiting, I'm reaching out to find you where you are
And I would fly into forever just to have you close to me
I would chase the shadows of my mind just for it to be
Time is short and time is long, all in the same thought
Each day another test of faith, another battle to be fought
A record down upon this page of a story told and told
I watch with open, avid eyes for my life to unfold
like a story in my favorite game, or in my favorite book
I'm running now against the wind with not a backward look
I'm on my own for now and I've got a world to explore
Climbing thrrough that window if I can't go through the door
I'm circling, seeking, running, dreaming, wishing on that star
I'm dancing, singing, reaching out to find you where you are
I'm flying like the wind into forever, into the wild and the free
Someday you'll fly with me, when I find you, wait and see.
