i wish my eyes could see the views of mountains
i wish my eyes could see the waves pushing forward onto the shore
i wish my eyes could see the light of every sleeping hour from miles and miles away
i wish my eyes could see the warm light flashing from the sinking sun
i wish my eyes could see the dreams that people dream for themselves
i wish my eyes could see you, in a sea of what seems to be all love, hurt, hope, and rush of every dawn that comes
i wish my eyes could see myself standing in the midst of every breathing thing in this world
so that i may know
the life i want for myself before i leave it all to the blinding motions of every day
— because these eyes can only see for so long
