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.

    it reminds me of a lot.

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
