My Wish

Patterned days of love and luxury

Every night of turns and tosses

Modern anxious things, small and stupid

I declare myself alone when I should just speak my mind

But I do have wishes and they are simple

Bring me the sweet morning

Let me rest on the grass,

Soak the morning in and fall away to the past

Take me from these days

Between times and phases and changes

Bring me moments of wonder

Give them light

Let them comfort me

Cast away the evenings and their evils of the mind

Leave the tilting earth, twisting ground

Show me moments of beauty

Wrench me from the chaos

Cut me from the dark

Bring me my sweet morning
