Two words



Two words, I saw them in a dream
Wished I could weave a few lines with them
Recollection flickers
They are here one moment, lost another
I wracked my brain all day
Attempting to salvage what is lost
To gather the shards
Brittle and fragile as they were
Broke at the slightest touch
Is my wish so unconceivable?
Two words, are all I asked to call back
Wished I could weave a few lines with them

Sometimes

Can you sometimes hear
When I don't speak a word?
The distance is so great
Moments when helplessness overwhelms me
Did I tell you
I hold back at times
Cannot account for the reason
Maybe I will grow out of it with time

My Wish


I wish I had wings
Yellow, golden, brown
Azure, veins milling about
Just a pair would do
I wish to fly

I wish the world weren't so huge
Oceans, mountains and plains
Unfathomable, daunting and vast
A tiny nest would do
I wish you by my side

I wish I had wings
Yellow, earthy and azure
Just a pair would do
That way, if not you
I could fly to be at your side
