31

I can walk one thousand footsteps
I can breathe one thousand breaths
I can blink one thousand times but yet
I can't climb these one thousand steps

My heart can beat one hundred times
I can hear one hundred words
I can touch one hundred blades of grass
Yet I can't travel these one hundred worlds

I can sing a song ten times through
I can whisper ten mystical lines
I can count ten stars in one small group
But I can't count ten saintly signs

I can publish one little poem
I can keep one promise too
But the one thing I can't hold onto
Darling that one thing is you.
