What Will You Give?A Poem by Adam LightI'm not sure if anyone will understand this or gain value from it, but here's what I've got so far.What will you give? What will you give to have this dream be yours to live? I have nothing. Nothing, I think. I am trapped air that's doomed to sink. Oh, that is good that's very good! Would you give air, if air you could? Yes, I'd like to; I truly would, but I do not think that I could. You can; you will! It's right for you. Just take the air from what you do. I cannot seize air of that kind; I do not do, and I'm confined. The thoughts you think stifle the air, and so you sink into despair. Action is a ship made of steel that displaces air and make dreams real. And if you would but trade with me, action would float you on the sea. I'm sorry, but we've got no deal. I cannot do what I can't feel. The days can pass; I understand. My hourglass drops all of the sand. Farewell, good trader, and best of luck! I hope you find a mind unstuck. I'm not a trader, you poor, poor soul, and seeking air is not my goal. I am a voice inside your mind. This is the best deal that you'll find. Take some action, and waves, explore. Give me something; I'll give you more!
