I wish...

I longed to fly above the clouds

Soaring through the crisp clear air

I longed to twist through ocean depths

Fraternising with mysterious creatures there

I longed to shrink myself so small

That the blades of grass were skyscrapers

But all my dreams came crashing down

When I learnt this was not to be

Shaken violently out of my reverie

Trapped in this body for eternity

A misty wisp of essence-

An echo of my yesterday

Never will I leap through the stars

Slide down asteroids till I land on Mars

Here I stay, crouched down below

Gazing at wonders I long to know

Now I am nothing,

Just cursed to be

Myself until

Infinity
