I Wish

I wish I had wings

Yellow, gold, brown

Azure, veins milling about on them

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, azure

Just a pair would do

That way, if not you

I could fly to be at your side

Can you sometimes hear?

When I don't speak a word?

The distance is so great

There are moments when helplessness overwhelms

I wish I had wings, Just a pair would do

I wish to fly
