Wish

 

 

Standing before a birthday cake

Looking up at a star

Leafing through a store catalog

Scrolling through a shop website

All these seem so unrelated

But have one thing in common.

 

Feelings flying high upon the wind

A kite soaring across the sky

Fishes swimming up stream

A child up on Christmas Eve

All seem so different but see

They all imitate my emotions now.

 

You are all I so wish for tonight

A candle burning by a window

The prayer beside my bed

My dream across a horizon

All have you in common

Beneath our covers

And side by side

‘Til the wheels wear out.
