If I had but just one wish,
I’d break it into levels
which would more
than likely be this…
I’d wish to REMEMBERS...
remember the hard
lessons learned
this time around.
Most, painfully learned;
a few amusingly found.
I’d want to fulfill
all the promises
I made to myself.
Promises sacred
to the heart
and kept safe
and hidden
on a figurative shelf.
Remember
how I wanted to
draw and write,
sing and dance
and run and fly
as free and far as ever,
just gliding through
the sky.
I’d not forget
that the current facts
of my life were, in fact,
NEVER part of my plan.
For me, I did not envision
nuptials or children
or being indebted
to any man
but,
next time I’ll finally
get things right.
My life will be
a miracle of friendships and
beauty and art and music
in all forms.
All these and more
will then fill my
curious appetite.
Sorrows, fears, and worries
will NOT take over
my new world.
Only my innate sense
creativity, imagination
and wonder
shall then be
unfurled.
I will never HAVE to
share, give up, or
compromise a thing,
unless it is by choice.
My restless soul smiles
Inside when I stop to
envision these things,
and to them give
full voice.
If I ever get but just one wish
it would most likely be this…
next time around
I’ll not allow the trials
of life or selfishness of others
ever impede my search
for my genuine self
or my personal bliss.

Just thinking of how life actually turns out, as opposed to, often, what we imagined it would or could be.
