Is it letting my heart blossom <br />Like spring orchids, <br />Smiling nakedly at the sun? <br />Is it those native children <br />Pollinating the wasteland <br />Through their careless run? <br /> <br />Can it be found on this altar, <br />The lighted lanterns, <br />The chimes of these bells, <br />This seashore stroll, <br />In the inner contours <br />Of these sand-filled shells? <br /> <br />What is it about you <br />That sets this golden-bird <br />Daybreak behind my eyes, <br />A song like a child <br />Wailing at the rising sun <br />Atop the highest of the highest rise. <br /> <br />Why do you make me yearn for you, <br />Do you know I like it, <br />For you to make my heart race? <br />And should I stay in the familiar cold <br />Or become lost <br />In this unknown warm place.<br /><br />K.
