The Wishing Song

the wishing song

winter is upon us


the skies blacken with sorrow

the inked feathers fall into the muddy puddles

the disappearance of the colorful birds

the leaves from the trees grow sour

the scent of fresh-cut grass replaced

the dream of pale snow trampled by feet


smell the tea leaves-- pale and damp

smoking wood teases the icy air

that’s funny


stop dreaming!


keep wishing, and be disappointed

stop messing with your head

all out of breath

stuck on the ledge

your head spinning round

even your heart is one full of doubt

guess what happens to every life at a moment in time

you already know

drown yourself in hopes

just to escape a displeasing truth
