i want to make a home

out of the place inside my head

i want to watch my guardians grow

and frame a masterpiece above my bed

i want to leave the memories

behind me and set them alight

i want to bury the things you said to me

and have no reason left to fight

i want to feel everything big and true

but hope the fear won’t set me adrift

i want to love just the way i do

and maybe then my spirits will lift

i want to dance ahead a few pages

to make certain old youth turns to dust

i want to meet and greet the sages

and for new wisdom to never rust

i want a room that feels like autumn

so when spring comes and crosses,

i want it to collide, somehow, not forgotten

and this place... forever a dream amidst

a thousand losses
