~ My Ambition ~
I don’t want to be revered
Or admired
Or respected
Or even accepted.
Any man who finds his happiness
In the opinions of others
Is no man to me.
I simply want to be happy with the person
That I see in the mirror.
I want to wake up every day
And live a life that is in tune
With the gentle voice
That I hear in my heart.
I want to write poetry
And walk in the woods
And for my words and actions
To be that of the higher energy
Which flows through everything.
I want to feel my mind as clear
As the air and the water
While feeling no distance
Between me and the stars.
I want to know what this life is
To be fully alive and awake
My eyes seeing what’s before me
Without any mental distortion.
There is no time to take notice
Of the noise of society
When nature is here
To tell me the truth.
That nature is my god
And my ambition
Is to live in alignment with it.
To be as pure as a sunset
As free-flowing as a river
As true as a lightning bolt
And just be ‘myself’
Whatever the hell
That really is.
