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.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
