I Wish

I wish I could soar to the tall mountain’s height
On eagle’s spread wing in the swiftness of flight
So I could look down at the greeness below
Through eyes of the eagles and know what they know

I wish I could float on the back of a whale
Through waters of wonder to playfully sail
And dive to the depths of the ocean below
To be at the heart of the secrets they know

I wish I could cling to a jaguar’s soft tail
And follow him all through the rainforest trail
Along water’s edge where the Amazon flows
Consuming the splendor of places he knows

I would like to ride on a butterfly wing
I don’t think it odd to request such a thing
For I can go anywhere butterfly knows
In verses of poetry, anything goes

Elizabeth

Hi Liz,

Beautiful poetry here, and you are so right about going any were you want in your muse, I remember this trip I once took with a friend and I got to see a purple cow ill never forget that trip,

Love, Cerenity
