David Leonard Gudorf performs a lyrical monologue about wanting to become part of nature. He repeats wishes to flow like a river, change like wind, bloom like flowers, and exist in silence, building a meditation on freedom and transformation through natural imagery.
scared. I'd like to be free like that, spread my wings so high. I see the river flowing, water running by. I'd like to be that river, see what I might find. I feel the wind are blowing, slowly changing time. I'd like to be that wind that swirl and shape the sky. I smell the flowers bloom and bid it for spring. I like to be those flowers, open to everything. I see the moon arising, reaching into night. I'd like to be that moon, a knowing glowing light. I know the silence as the world begins to wake. I'd like to be that silence as the morning breaks. I see a rock with water on it. I like to be a fish. You are the fish. I feel the wind blowing slowly changing tide. I like to be that wind that swirls and shapes the sky. I smell flowers blooming and in full spring. I like to be those flowers. Open to everything. I'd like to be those flowers open to everything.
