For a Wish

I don’t know
Where the river flows
As I contemplate its existence
Down river I will go
Hopefully slow
So I can make no nonsense
To the home
Of a gnome
Who gives out wishes
One which is mine, oh ho
No confusion will show
I want to be in his presence
|
|
The gnome saw me
And said eventually
My wish I shall see
She will see me truly
And exclusively

Like life, we don't know where it takes us but hopefully the "gnome" won't lead us astray. Nice images to tease the mind Russ!
