Ilya Shambat Poet Iambic Pentameter

Wish

What thunder told me is that I must hurry

To be forever, and forever new;

What wonder brought me is a bit of worry

That I can't fathom time and sky of blue.


I want it all; to overcome Forever

And leave a lasting imprint of my life;

To fathom all that's beautiful and clever

And at existence's essence to arrive;


To see the souls and let them bloom in season

To water hearts with poetry and soul;

To make true understanding with my reason

And with my intuition know the whole;


To have the wisdom young enough to matter,

To know how to fulfil the people's dreams;

To cut with manacles through every fetter

And heed to every spirit's rending screams;


To add to knowledge that man has fathomed

And have new insights into life and love;

To see into the core of every atom

And of each wave to make a spirit - of


You and me to know the shared being,

To know the secret of true love's delight,

How to restore the eyes to the unseeing

And to the visionaries give the might,


How to create with all that I've been given

And from all parts to make a greater sum;

I want it all. But though I've been forgiven

I know I'll have to do with only some.
