I wish my life to be
a Kings of Convenience melody

soothing, carefree
guitar fiddling
voice calming
an easy listening

a blend of yellow and green

I wish my life to be
a Sigur Rós dream

an ethereal realm
an unearthly feel
a good foreign kind
edible for the mind

a fusion of night and coffee

And last,
I wish my life to be
The Maine’s “We’ll All Be…”

estranged but familiar
a place to call home
haunting and vivid
a place for good music

‘with a song to sing along’
