How I Wish…

 

How I wish my heart sang like the dawn…

Comforting the soul with every beat.

How I wish my mind glistened like the stars…

Creating wondrous dreams while I’m fast asleep.

How I wish my love flowed like a river…

Bringing life to all that it may meet.

How I wish my life echoed like a forest…

Telling its story for the world to keep.
