wishes

Wishes

Eyes closed

Concentrate hard

Hold your breath

Count to three

Blow hard

Tickling the nose

Then taken by the breeze

To places unknown.

Easy things to forget

These wishes

Thinking back to times long past

Remembering these wishes

The anticipation and excitement

That someday, some how

These wishes were coming true.

Still doing the same

My eyes are closed

I’m concentrating hard

Holding my breath

Counting to three

Blowing hard

Tickling my nose

Still taken by the wind

To place unknown...... But I'm still wishing
