A Thousand Lives
One more life we might need
or a thousand more indeed
to know more than what's said
in between the lines that's read
to read what eyes do say
what hearts in silence pray
intent behind sweet word
meanings that are not heard
to know if tears are glad
or if the smiles are sad
there are places to explore
valleys, deserts and much more
the oceans vast and deep
the mountains tall and steep
to travel to the moon
and step out of cocoon
we can never do it all
in a lifetime that's too small.
