ONE WISH


I haven't written anything (at all!) in a while. Zilch! Nada! Kaput! Don't know what gives. I'm more into reading than writing these days. Probably because when I write I'd just rant about something and it's really not my cup of tea. So now, I found a new pastime...I resorted to editing - revising materials I've previously written haphazardly. So here goes one of them...


*******************************************************



I wish to go back to the age of innocence…
...where dreams abound and desires were pure...
...where guilt lurked in the shadows
and I was pure…


I wish to cloak my tainted mind with the shroud of incorruptibility…
…to soften my hardened heart and unmask my jaded doppelganger on the prowl
…to remember what I was then, to reveal who I'd become
and to see myself for who I am now (to reclaim my very soul)…

I wish I could turn back time
…when I knew no betrayal
…when I felt no shame
…when I harbored no envy
…when I wasn’t cursed by pain.


I wish I could see through the eyes of a child…
where there lie and where I could see...
...exquisite beauty
...un-compromised affability
...loving kindness
...unsolicited gentleness
...honesty & benevolence
...glorious innocence
and in all simplicity... MAGNIFICENCE.
I wish I could…
