Will there be a time when wishes come true, or the impossible becomes the norm? And the universe recognizes you not as the thirsty flower, but the storm! Your allotted time swiftly disappears; yesterdays outnumber your tomorrows. And having cried over a billion tears, you tend to drown in a sea of sorrows. Can magic wishes indeed be real; a pot of gold under every rainbow? And if you believe, will you get to feel God's love; will it eventually show? It is nearly impossible to dream, when teetering on the verge of a scream!

I have often thought this, but you were the first to actually write it down for me: "Do magic wishes ever become real is there a pot of gold for each rainbow?" Well done, Emile. So wonderful!

Dreams can and do come true, Emile. The 'reality bites' version takes place when the dream becomes a nightmare, and then it is possible to drown in sorrow. Your lines, "And the universe recognizes you not as the thirsty flower, but the storm!"...brilliant!
