i want to believe / i want to believe that when i scale a cliff / look out over the waves / that i am peering off the edge of the world / and that no one knows this / except me / i want to believe / as i stand atop mighty roman ruins / that i can hear the heartbeats / of thousands of past lives / people for every century / reverberating from the ground up / i want to believe / that the cobblestone clouds / will really take me to a spiral staircase / will really take me to the gates / will really take me anywhere / i want to believe / that nothing is just something yet to start / that we are not made of atoms / molecules, tissues, bones / but stars / light to lens to eye / two eyes / two eyes staring to infinity / i want to believe someone looks back / i do / i want to believe we are as fascinating to them / as they are to us / that we are more than nothing / and they less than something / i'm yet to understand / or comprehend / i wanted to believe that / once
