Big

Sometimes you just gotta sing. Or write. Don't know exactly what this is. Freestyle poem? Weird might cover it. [livejournal.com profile] samkicksass has seen the road I take to and from work -- it's where this originated.

I swear, I had to get this out before I could write anything else.

I want to be big today.

I want to wrap my arms around a foothill. Feeling the ground against my cheek. Sagebrush in my hair.

I want to jump across a lake. Then stomp in it. Scaring some fish.

I want to swim to the bottom of the sea. All in one breath. With my eyes open.

I want to run and leap off of a snowy mountain. Sliding down on my coat. Plucking pine trees as I go.

I want to reach up and touch the moon. Standing on my tippy-toes. Grabbing some cheese.

I want to build a castle from a sand dune. With a moat. And then smash it.

I want to be big today.
