If Only For Clarity

If for…
but a moment I’d give
my soul to the sea
cast my heart to the wind
if you’d only see me.

Just to feel like it’s new
that awakening feeling...
inspiring, empowering
yet subtly revealing.

To bask once again
in the awe of its power
unfettered and free
like a blossoming flower.

Inspired by notions
that colors the senses…
embracing emotions
forgetting defenses.

Intrigued by a vision
that captures the mind
captivated with reasons
no meanings defined.

If for…
but a moment I’d beg
of the heavens above
to remember it clearly
that first taste of love.
