Andrew Crisci Poet Lyric

Can An Ambitious Dreamer

I have yearned to breathe new air,
explore new worlds and new suns that shined;
I have longed for eyes with the spark of trust
inciting me and giving a name to a flower that bloomed; 
have I found any of these: is it love or lust?
Am I looking for someone to cuddle
gentler than an adorable teddy bear
and fall asleep holding a double?

Can an ambitious dreamer live free,
get rid of his dreams and ride on clouds,
not knowing where they'll take him?
Can an ambitious dreamer give up everything
when that woman comes along and imprisons him,
and he can't find a way to flee,
or hide inside fast-moving crowds?

I have felt a longing for freedom,
not to hold arms and kiss lips;
it's something bigger than yearning...
turning into that eagle fearless of winds
and aware of dangers searching for another sky,
to discover where the Seventh Heaven is
and allow this repentant sinner to hum
hymns with angels while tears multiply!  

Can an ambitious dreamer
do what he has never done
and conquer his worst fear?
Can an ambitious dreamer
get by without any aspiration 
and nullify what kept him afloat
in rising water relying on faith alone? 
His testament attests he was mocked a lot
for his unrealistic ideas, but he won: 
kneeling down and praising Heaven!
