I Wish

I wish I was the first dawning to arouse you from a deep slumber Rising in intensity like sun rays a tender warmth across your face. I wish I was the water to glide freely into your palms Hastily in the fear of loss a splash of gentle freshness. I wish I was the dew studded grass to tickle your bare feet Teasing with prickly edges rekindling a lost dream. I wish I was the air to linger around you for just a moment Just one breath of air unnoticed and yet essential.
