WATER

WATER 4-6-2020

I want a sip of water,

a taste..please!

I want just a little,

to quench my thirst.

I want to hold the moon,

in my hands.

I want to sooo..maybe,

run my fingers through the moonlight.

I want to fly once more,

upon a plane this time.

I want an open canopy old style plane,

that I can feel the moonlight breeze on my face.

I want to be young again..if,

only for just one day.

I want to be able to run for miles,

feeling the blood pumping in my legs!

I want to see my relatives now gone,

for a moments embrace.

I want to say hello,

before I go.

I want to dive to the ocean bottom,

to know what is truly deep!

I want many things,

I cannot keep.

If only wishes were horses..

If only fairytales were real..

If only time was a friend

and life did not end..

if we just quit the koolaid..

We could sip the water,

more than a taste..

please!
