f I Had Three Wishes
First, I’d wish for time—
not forever, just a pocketful
to sip dawn light through the window,
to let the rain drum without hurry.
Second, I’d wish for quiet—
the hush after thunder,
where thoughts float like dust motes,
no echo, no demand.
Third? I’d wish for nothing—
let the lamp stay cold,
let the air keep its secrets.
Because these two already
feel like borrowed magic.
(And if a fourth slipped in…
I’d wish for one more sunrise,
just to watch it happen.)

Very pleasant with a hint of whimsy. Thought provoking, if I had 3 wishes?
Thank you
Beautiful wishes William I was almost certain that the first wish would be for a million more. I guess that violates the code of ethics for wish making
