Life inspired

How would it be
To live a life inspired

to feel that lightness of being
finely tuned
suspended yet constantly
moving, flying, soaring

the little boy who grew up
no money for food
and ended up saving a nation
on wits alone - he could

the little girl
painfully shy, even ugly
but conquered the world
her gift - a voice as pure as honey

that old man
who plodded, yes, a life ordinary
but he raised a loving family
and that was all he ever wanted

i would give my kingdom
to sing that perfect song
i would give the clothes on my back
to dance that perfect dance
oh, i would, i would
give my life
for that one perfect moment

When it all makes sense
I make sense.
