Literature Text

on a day with the sun sharing a golden glance
extending her hands through my window
I found myself lost in thought
curious of worldly beauty
so I took a walk to find light that I could hold with my hands
I did not understand the rays found reflected from the sidewalk
in the street that I once found most familiar
so I transferred myself someplace new
a foreign shore
strange waves
unknown mists pouring over my soul
and there you are
there is sincerity here that I can appreciate
there is a calmness in the cordial sensitivity of humanity
I immerse myself in the depths willingly
but who are you?
I want to know
I am only myself
there is no other way to live
no alternative to switch my mind
with that of a beached branch
loose leaves instead of hair
or sandy skin in place of all my cares
so to position my projection at a comfortably passionate pace
on days like these, I am a harbinger of hope
my dreams cast silver shadows amongst this shore
I am not a rock
I am not a tree swaying with the breeze
I am just a man who needs three things:
life, light, and love
my fundamental elements
my reasons to invent morning moods
that I feel like sharing with you
for you help me find the passion
you give me the breath
you lend me what I need to uncover earthly secrets
from your eyes, I can feel the light
it is hard to focus on the beam
but I can see it in the locus of my mind
revealing something
touching everything
beautiful
intangible
incredible
I cannot help but hold it in my heart forever
and share it during irenic moments
when others find themselves lost
or just need to locate a unique opportunity
in a universe so vast
the last thing anyone should do is be without hope
we all have faces, hands, and hearts to pass the light along
let it be known
if you find yourself lost
come find me
I am here for you
with this beautiful light in my eyes

How many of us actually understand the light that we see, I wonder? :) I like these lines best.

Is it intentionally a big block of text? To be read without pause, without consolidation or pace; but all at once?
I feel like that's what's lacking, here. (I'm inserting my own pauses and phrasings where I see fit, but I'd like to know what you are thinking)
