I Wish

I wish    
I could into a deep blue sea dive    
Have the flowing flood of tears subside    
Let my smile surface and revive    
And my woes would ever cease to survive..    
   
I wish    
I could the highest of mountains mount    
And from its very summit    
I would see with no doubt    
How tiny my tribulations and vain to wane about..
   
I wish    
I could widely fly    
Reach the heart of the sky    
And how light I am I would realise    
Having dropped the heaviest of burdens so far..    
   
I wish    
I could on a solid land land    
And feel the strength of the path I tread    
Be sure not to stumble    
When I raise high my head..    
   
I wish    
I could vanish into darkness    
With a void I would merge    
Attain a leading light    
And with serenity I would converge..    
   
I wish    
I could follow an inner time to rise    
Bright, full of energy and willing to shine    
Despite the weights of dark nights    
Seek the Light of God, bow to the Sublime and end my fights    
   
I wish    
I could not just bathe but sink    
In a so pigmented thick ink    
Draw and colour in a wondrous beauty    
Paintings and portraits with my poetry..

Dear Besma...what a soulful write. How you yearn to rise above worldly entanglements and become a better self. This wish is in most of us. But many of us are not steadfast in our wish. When it comes to the question of making sacrifices, we go back.As you wish to make yourself free from physical and emotional pressures, you also wish to have a spiritual reawakening with your connection with God strengthened. Poetry and art are special gifts given by God. You wish to perfect your art in such a way to create wondrous beauty. Be sure you are already doing it. I shall look how your poem is made into a video by Maria' s masterful hands.

Dearest Soul, your poem beautifully captures the universal human yearning for relief and enlightenment. Each wish represents a different stage of personal evolution, moving from emotional release to spiritual awakening and creative fulfilment. The closing lines, where you express the wish to "paintings and portraits with my poetry," highlights a desire to not only overcome inner struggles but also to transform them into art. It's truly an inspiring piece that resonates with anyone seeking to turn their trials into something meaningful. Bravo dearest Soul and a Fave for me...Hugs

Wow! I havent read such brilliant poetry in a while! So well phrased, so descriptive, such captivating cadence and such longing! Just beautiful! Every word in this feels like its been written carefully in such eloquence, i especially love the opening lines and there are days i wish for such things too, to just be free in the blues of the ocean , swimming away, thats when i feel the most free. I also love the lines “ wish I could vanish into darkness With a void I would merge—“ impeccable! Youv left me breathless! I wish i could read more from you talented soul! Keep sharing with us! This is definitely a fave for me!

Oh my, this is such a breathtaking and heart-touching piece, my dear poetess... You've truly interpreted the emotions of many of us here in an enchanting way ~ how we wish that the darkness would subside and we would no longer feel the danger of falling into the abyss whilst climbing those peaks.. I also admire the artistic manner in which you've crafted this, feels captivating with a beautiful cadence of diction and elegant flow. "I could not just bathe but sink,In a so pigmented thick ink" I soooo love these lines, they speak to my heart.. Feeling absolutely ethereal, being able to read your words after a long time.. Sending best wishes & light ~
