This Day again
And this place
Here I move happily up That Hill
At an easily difficult pace
On account of my heart
And all that it hopes and hoped
I close my eyes to make a wish
A steady shutter
A sturdy tripod
On solid ground
A bellwether
Are all that comes to mind
i’m wasting a wish
but it feels worth it to me
i wish you nearer
I wish I had a rocking chair
And while I was slow-swaying there
I’d make a list of all my dares
Then whisper them into the air….
Against what’s proper
And polished
We keep our eyes down these days
Having faith in only that we no longer have the strength
To see what isn’t there
Each day brings its journey
Down stairwells
Through thoroughfares
Around corners too dark
Up or out into the blue
Thankful for life around and within
Aren’t we
Wishing though
For stronger legs and for footsteps
Whose echo steadies hands
The seams of you
May those burlap threads burst
Spilling the uncontainable, genuine joy
The gleam of you
May those eyes forever hold ease
Radiating the wonder within
The dreams of you
May those hopes find their home
Visting the soul steadfastly
I wish to stay lost
Away from random dicta
I wish for strangersTo share in matters
That deal in the eternal
I wish for that friendIf conversation
Turns to pin-dotted pearl lace
I wish to stay lost
a wave and a wish
a potion, a spell, a kiss
There to Here you drift
We’re here bare-hearted
Smiles crumpled up in a kiss
What do you wish for

My wish: You’d kiss me.
First my hand, then my forehead.
No words. Just kiss me.
One-thousand wishes
Each waiting to be wished for
Close your eyes and dare
