I kept an eye some time ago
on wishes, needs, desires,
and watched them disappear
like mist into the sun.

I called them back into the fold
but too much "pity me, oh, please"
filled the nooks and crannies
where once they dwelt content.

They wandered then the ether
dispossessed of power
and floated round and round about
the core from whence they came.

Occasionally a buzz, a shiver and a feel
but gone before mind could react
and reach out determinedly
to grasp what disappeared.

Wishes, needs, desires;
oh, yes, they disappear
but not to say they ever die
in that air of no disease!

Helen, Helen, Helen! This speaks to me in a way that caught me off guard. Got me thinking...and I so enjoy where you take my head...no matter how nitty your gritty. Great write.

Thank you, Lori. Oh, I love that - "nitty your gritty"! Basically, I guess, we must be careful what we wish for because it's out there waiting to pounce. Trouble is we'll probably be someone else and wonder why our life is the way it is. Karma or them there floating things?

they say if we knead the wishing tree...it will seep the oils of desire and only whet our thirst for more...

Thanks, Mr. Dark. Yes, I reckon we can blame the trees! Why not?

Our wishes, needs, and desires change as life changes us. Unfortunately sometimes, as you said, we get on the pity potty, God knows I did. This is one of your best.

Thanks, Jerry. I reckon we all get on that "pitty potty" until we're trained but sometimes the training process long and slow. Wish we could be born knowing all we have to know.
