A simple wish

A simple wish, really

nothing much

nowhere far

no crazy place

a simple, domestic idea, I guess.

A small boat, really

nothing much

nowhere far

not for too long

a single day, I guess.

A solo excursion, really

nothing much

nowhere far

just a day on the water

all by myself

my and my thoughts, I guess.

Peaceful quiet

silent solidarity

all I really wish for, really

a simple wish

of a small boat

just a solo excursion

one sunny day

when the water sparkles and shines and gleams

with just me and my thoughts, I guess.

  • Questions

    I'm

    confused

    did I do it

    what happened?

    You were melancholy earlier

    what is going on

    what did I miss

    was it me?

     

    You talk in subtle hints

    but what are you hinting at?

  • Beauty

    The world is muted

    muffled

    as the snow sprinkles your hair

    lice,

    you remember a friend calling it once in 5th grade

    you got mad at him for that.
