Laura Breidenthal Poet Free verse

I Wish It Wise

I wish it wise 
To be alone in such a crumbling world 
I wish it right 
To say goodbye to the need for safety
Where safety be our scepter
And not our scarcity 
When love is not equipped 
With merely another

Sometimes, 
I wish it wise 
To close my eyes to the truth
Just for a short time 
That I may taste hidden sunshine 
In this shrowding life 
To escape on pristine wings 
To a bliss solely my own
Where wild dreams can be put to Poetry
Where I need not fight for that reign
To choose 
To write 
To love 
To live
