I wish memories were crystal clear
Like motion pictures
Or double-sided mirrors
To the one looking outside in to all your fears

I wish love could light the fires
Wayward embers that ignite desire
Just a spark
To bring light to a corrupted heart

I wish we could live freely
Give us time to reconcile that life’s not easy
Without the rain
Where would the trees be

I wish for peace
But I can settle for hope
Only so many strands
We have left on this weathered rope
