I Wish

One night I was thinking,
one freezing night.
I wonder where my life is going.

I have a walk under the city lights, under sleet or maybe snow.
I keep wonder where to go, I take my dog for a walk while I' m thinking.

It' s snowing, I thank God for that, but I keep walking.
I still wonder about the next step.
Maybe changing or staying.
What to do?.

Keep my old feelings or change for new ones.
Write new lines or staying for the old ones.
I consider that the old lines
can teach new ones.

New steps can be made while I 'm walking my dog.
New feelings can be worked out, if I wish.
Wishes come out deep inside.

Wish to myself that changes can be made.
My life is walking under the cold.
I write another line.

My wishes are to be changed and not for be staying.
My wishes are to stay and not to be changed.
I wish to stay with the ones that deserve and to be hidden from other ones.
I wish to keep on and on.

That's all any of us do, I believe. We just keep walking, thinking, dreaming, hoping one foot after the other. Very nicely written. :)
