Were we with wings

Warmth wouldn’t weaken.

Worries would wear down

Waking ways would wave.

Wings were wishes

Wept.

Wailed.

Whosoever wanted

Wished wholeheartedly.

We were wandering

Woefully whistling

Wonderfully wholly

With what wrongfully wasn’t.

We wished

We were worthy

While weariness won well.

We worked

We waded

We wrestled ways.

We were

whispering

We were waiting.

We wished wishes worked.

We went,

“When will wishes wipe weaponry?

When will wings wane,

Wax where we walk?”

Were we with wings

We would weave.

We’d water worlds with

wondrous woods.

We’d walk with wishes

without wicked war.

We’d work wholesomely,

welcomed

world’s wind whirring.

When?

When will waiting

wake with warmth?

When will wings wane,

wander with wishers?

When will wings waltz,

wondrously

wordless?

When will we waken

without wanting, whole?

When

Why

Why

When

Wings

Waken

Wink

Waltz.

Wherever wings would,

Wander where we wish.

Wash where we want,

Wail while we wail.

Wings.

Wander with will

Work well

Want well.

When will we witness

windfall withdraw world’s worse?

When

Wings

When.

When will waiting waste?
