WANTING SO MUCH MORE...

Swimming in shallow water,

Riding waves near life’s shore,

My head leans toward the horizon,

Because I want so much more.

And I spy an island

Wait- an archipelago,

That appears to be so inviting,

As I drift to and fro.

The trees are luscious green,

The waves roll gently on shore,

And I can’t help but long,

Because I want so much more.

The distance seems so short,

The water seems so blue,

Not this sea green aqua,

That I am wading through.

And the sun shines so givingly,

Upon its gleaming shore,

And I get hungry with anticipation,

Because I want so much more.

They would hardly notice my absence,

Never miss me at all,

If I disappeared for a moment,

To seek what has enthralled.

And if I chose to stay,

Who could ever blame me for?

Wanting to get away,

Because I wanted so much more…
