A Wish

A Poem by foufa la perle

(A mess of a dreamer)

If you ever had one last wish
and you knew it would come true,
what would you wish for?

I was once told..
"be careful with what you wish for!"
maybe I wasn't a reckless child
but I've always been a wild dreamer
so that kind of advice didn't work for me.

See, I see the impossible everyday!
I know that when the sun goes down
eveything slowely turns into grey
but the beauty of the sunset still amazes me every time I see it.

I see life growing from a dried ground
and I know that one cloud can drown a whole city without making a sound
but I love the rainbow and I love the way that raindrops paint it.

I know that a wind of thoughts can change your mind..
and you'd be floating in the air even if you're breathing with nervous lungs
but these lungs will always be chasing little atoms of oxygen in the air just to feel alive..
I'm still looking for it!

And when I see all of that,
I can no longer stop myself from wishing for impossible things to happen
there's a lot to capture,
more than you could ever imagine
so telling to me to be careful with what I wish for..
it's like creating a world of magic and then cover it and send it away, hoping it would be forgetten.

Let me ask you one more time..
forget about the world for a second and tell me.
If you ever had one last wish
and you knew it would come true,
what would you wish for?
