NOTHING I NEED
BY
Erik Sweet
There is nothing here
that I need.
It is all
someplace else.
I need to find the place
where Morals are buried,
seek out
the road to Ethics,
drink
from the wells of Compassion,
bury my hands
in the depths of Love,
wade
in rivers of thoughtfulness,
linger
in the fields of Understanding,
breathe the air
of contentment.
Yes,
somewhere the Winds of Change
are blowing
and I need to be there,
standing on the Sea Cliffs,
witnessing the sunrise
of Hope.
