I don't want to breathe air,
I want to be the fresh breath of air
someone takes in to feel alive.
I don't want to feel the sun,
I want to be the heat in the sun's rays
someone soaks up to feel at home.
I don't want to stand in the ocean,
I want to be the waves of the ocean
someone stands in to wash away their cares.
I don't want to be chased by the wind,
I want to be the strength of the wind
someone takes solace in to feel free.
I don't want to write a poem,
I want to be the inspiration behind the poem
someone uses to create pure beauty.
I don't want to be loved,
I want to be the elation of love
someone basks in to know true happiness.
-----
I don't want to see or feel,
I want to be seen and felt.
I don't want to hear or taste;
I want to be heard and savored.
...I want to be the reason someone feels alive.
