Wishing

[Kit Kat P]

wishing

I wish I could string thoughts like

black pearls on fishing line

I wish I had the heart

of a poet

I wish I could arrange notes like

like a cacophony of thought

I wish I had the windowed eye

of an artist

but of all of it

life is the greatest irony

it’s like asking a swallow to drum out

the hummingbirds’ rhythm

or the nightingale to sing of the

mockingbirds’ sorrow

and life’s greatest sorrow is this

reality singing from the mountain top

it’s like the isolation of a crowd

merely wishing your perception

were as real as they seem

wishing your friends were as true as

the books you read

and your emotions as simple as the

songs you listen to

dreaming of time you can only faintly remember

when innocence was a fact not a mystery or a crime

when there was no question of how to be you

and it didn’t matter that the world didn’t make sense

Wow... I love your word choices...
