i wish to be
a slender apple tree
hidden in abandoned lot
who offers shade and fruit
to random passers-by

i wish, i wish,
to be a fish
to swim the oceans
until the oceans are no more

i wish to be
the warm spring breeze
that puts your soul at ease
and gently caresses your gracile hair

i wish to be
the stubborn thought
that refuses to leave your mind
like the unruly soldier
that refuses to stay in line

i simply wish
upon a star
upon a well
upon a yellow light
i simply wish
to be more than this
