"Seeking" (Richard Brautigan)

Seeking to find the highest height, I sight
A shooting star and wish to soar, before
Burning blood has boiled over, fever
Intoxicating desire, fire
Whispering frantically in mine ear, yet fear
Restrains mine actions, holds them in, within
Myself and soul I seek feeling, starting
Again re-learning how to fly, just die
I thought upon hitting hard ground, but found
Myself standing on eager feet, to meet
Someone new I certainly will, to fill
An empty void she's left and gone, alone
I shall not remain
In pain
Again.
