Let something essential happen to me
Something more than interesting
Or entertaining
Or thoughtful
Let something essential happen to me
Something awesome
Something real
Speak to me
Make me burn and tremble and heal
Explode me into tears of laughter
And love that throbs and screams
Let something essential happen to me
Something awesome
Something real
Let something essential and joyful happen
Like the blossoming of hope
A grateful heart
A surge of awareness as to how precious
each moment of time with you is
Let something essential happen to me
Something awesome
Something real
Let something essential and passionate
Strip me of illusion and self sufficiency
Until I’m drunk enough
To dare to speak and say
Thank you
You are beautiful
I love you
Let’s live forever, beginning now
