The Secret - Jeffrey McDaniel

When you were sleeping on the sofa,
I put my ear to your ear and listened
to the echo of your dreams.

That is the ocean I want to dive in, merge
with the bright fish, plankton and pirate ships.

I walk up to people on the street
that kind of look like you and ask them
the questions I would ask you.

Can we sit on a rooftop and watch stars
dissolve into smoke rising from a chimney?

Can I swing like Tarzan
In the jungle of your breathing?

I don't wish to be in your arms.
I just wish I was pedaling a bicycle
toward your arms.
