Wishing Well
What is a wish
but a wish for something else.
For what could have been
might have been
if only...
For the dark side of life
to not show its face
or to unravel like a dream.
For joys lost
to be found
or what’s found
to be lost.
For the nonexistent
the lofty, the cure.
What is a wish
but a space for us to enter.
To look it in the eye
to delve into the source
where wishes come from
and find that golden coin
buried inside
glistening in the silence
waiting for us to listen.
