could i?

could i follow those dreams and visions up steep mountains of poverty, into deep valleys of hunger and through dark places of war?
could i run alongside that desire for adventure...
and cheer on that thirst for more?
could i pray for that heart of passion... & respect that mind of wisdom?
could i take your hand to go explore?

.....hmm.....

right now at least i know i could swim in the clear bright warmth of those eyes until time stops and reality checks in to remind me that life hasn't...
