i wish to fly

I wish to fly over an ocean

as wide as the imagination

I wish to swim in a pond

as clear as the blue sky

I wish to walk in a garden

as fragrant as the Jasmines in the early morning breeze

I wish to speak the words

as fluent as an eagle in flight

I wish to see stars below me

I wish to serenade butterflies whispering

I wish

my wings - broken

my arms - tired

my feet - torn

my tongue - tide

my sight - abyss

my sound - cry

I wish.
