WISH

A wish that lingers like soft music longing to be heard.

When you tend to your dreams with loving thought
and let small rituals bring you closer to them

when each day you take time to kneel
beside their nuances and marvel at their beauty

when you trace the outlines of their essence
until you can begin to make out their image

when you smile upon them with gratitude
that they have come to live through you,

the formless desire begins to sing.
