If Wishes Came True Tonight I close my eyes And travel through placid dreams Skipping a penny across time, As I look into the sparkling eyes of God; And in-between tears and the question of faith, I see Him blink once, And then twice And with sorrow, yet a third time Granting me my three wishes. With my first wish, I prayed the devil to sleep So I could lucidly paint serenities beauty--- My eyes brushing lightly, Against the inner lining of my thoughts ---Upstroke black ---Down stroke white ---Upstroke black ---Down stroke white; It is the colorless wings of angels With faces that rival the blackness of death That come to life upon my canvas, Bringing to truth the realities of sin Causing the devil to awake and smile. For my second wish, I wished for true sight--- To see beyond the sunrise and into the human soul With my hands braced over the edge of golden light For a peek of the dead and the living Wandering hopelessly for purpose and meaning Not realizing they are just pawns; Perhaps my gift of insight and compassion Can offer a word or a gentle embrace To a world quickly losing favor from its Maker. My third wish Would be to love--- To love God To love the smell of roses To love those that hate me To love one woman forever To love the sun… The moon… The stars… Sunrises… Sunsets… Dreams… To love me when I awake.

Awesome write. Very much enjoyed reading your thoughts. Chris Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion. |
