Inspired (2002)

I can’t see what you want me to see.  
Am I blind or are you?
I can’t be what you want me to be.
Am I content?  Are you?
I’m not as experienced as you,
But I’m as journeyed.
I’m not as wise as you,
But I’m learning.
You told me to go catch another Star,
But I don’t know how.
You told me to run to the water,
But you are the Well, and I’m thirsty now.
I don’t care if there are stares.
I don’t care if happiness precedes tears.
I just know that if God answers my prayers,
A moment with you will last a thousand years.

jbsoria...I enjoyed this...espcially these lines...

"You told me to go catch another Star,
But I don’t know how.
You told me to run to the water,
But you are the Well, and I’m thirsty now."

Beautifully expressed.

I see you're in Phoenix too...nice to see
someone else from 'home'.

I'll be looking forward to reading more from you.
