I Wish For You
I Wish For You
I wish for you the sorrow
of a passing songbird’s song
I wish for you the heartache
of long winters hanging on
I wish for you the sunrise
on a never-ending night
I wish for you a gentle touch
on the fragile string of loving’s kite
I wish for you a cleansing rain
upon your upturned face
I wish for you a soothing touch
caressing ageless beauty’s grace
I wish for you a stinging gale
to rock you from your reverie
I wish for you clear memories
to tease your heart and set it free
I wish for you a pure black night
to nestle safe within true arms
I wish for you the crack of dawn
to wake from sleep your mythic charms
I wish for you a fire’s dreams
of endless passion’s lust
I wish for you life’s legacy
of footsteps followed in the dust
