i am looking for answers

i am looking for anything

a heart to bleed

a ship to steer

an army to command

i want nothing but something easily lost

to call my own

i want something beautiful and fleeting

that i cannot craft for all the jewels in the earth

a snowflake or a smile

surprise

and i want something that will last forever

i want time itself

but also to command myself

when my time runs out

i want there to be nothing

though i will never escape knowing

that there is everything

all these things i want

and this is how i know

i will never

be

satisfied
