wish
luminous dream
I wish I could write like the poets
who immortalize moments forever
they pick up a pen
and the poem writes for itself
I wish I could dance like the dervishes
who ecstatically lose themselves
in the rhythm that empties them of themselves
whirling, they reach the skies and touch the deepest oceans
I wish I could show you what I see
in the tickling laughter of a little child
in the touch of a delicate spirit
in the wilderness of nature
and the holy flight of a bird
I wish I could fill your space with a sweet lullaby
drawn from the music of angels
blanket you in my arms
that you begin to feel the warmth of my burning heart
I wish I could give you what I need the most .. and more
heart’s wish
times may change
years may pass
may my heart find peace
only in things that last
at the end of the day
at the end of my life
may it only be meaningful things
for which I strive
may I never be misunderstood
or cause someone pain
may only clarity, selfless love
pulsate through my veins
people might change
they might want to come and go
but when the time is right
just make it easier for me to let go
through this journey, through this life
its your love and light I ask
innocence of a child
kindness in this heart
it is not one less year of this life
it is one year closer to You
in everything I seek, believe and do
may I only appease You
