Aspirations for the future; or what I wanna be when I grow up.
I aspire to grow up to become
a happy well adjusted joy-filled child
playing every day in the sun
merrily walking through forests and flowers
splashing in streams and rivers and lakes
swiming in the sea
climbing trees
singing and dancing and laughing
with my one special playmate;
my friend, companion, sister-lover, partrner; wife.
She and I will spend each day
in the backyard of the world
doing all the things that healthy happy children do
to play
we will walk and talk and sing together
dance to music, both heard and unheard
walk through forests and over mountains
lay by the sea
and drink cola
from tall glasses with silly umbrellas
We will quest for:
the best water-slide;
the greatest hourseback ride;
the coolest mountain side;
the warmest ocean tide;
the breeziest bicycle ride;
We will have to try them all.
At night,
We'll go home
(wherever that happens to be)
and make love
and drink the bliss of eachother's caresses
snuggling against the day's excesses
in the warm folds of eachother's embraces
But sometimes...
Since the world has more people in it than just us two
we will also be loving members of a community
singing and dancing
friendly and warm
open and loving
responsible and strong.
People will learn love through our company
Because we can not only tell eachother
any truth
but we can also each hear
any truth
that the other can possibly say
without loosing love
without loosing comfort
in eachother's arms
And yet
As a few of the other people in the world
are not happy well-adusted children
we will live securely against danger
We will have a house with doors that lock
and windows that close against the chill
We will not be wealthy
-for wealth attracts those who are hungry for it-
But we will always have
enough food
enough warmth
enough privacy
enough shelter
against cold winds
against cold hearts
