I Wish

I wish, for a moment—I could vanish, like a dream dreamt not to last, so that ones that dream of me would falter and wonder where has she gone? I wish, that I was a hummingbird buzzing in and out of sight, that only observant eyes and special hearts can fly with I wish I was the color of your favorite thought, waning and growing with swelling light bent on a candid smile How I wish—and ever more, that I could be just as I am and take that little bit of sand of what we seem to be, and turn it into something vast— something true, and welcome

"I wish I was the color of your favorite thought, waning and growing in swelling light bent on a candid smile..." to be vast in another's heart is to be better than a wish, its to be raw life Laura. This poem has a subtle sorrow, and its written beautifully...J.A.B.
