Today I wish ...


Today  I wish ...



Today I wish to bind myself to the earth

Though I see the unending free skies stretching overhead.

Today I wish my hair strikes roots in the ground

Though the winds strain to caress it.

Today I wish my feet get swallowed by the wet mud

Though the dew kissed grass offer comforting solidness.

And though the thoughts scamper like restless squirrels on the branches,

Today I wish to be like a tree, grounded, rooted, patient,

Quietly swaying to the rhythms of the seasons




(Poem inspired by the magnificent Mahogany outside my apartment)
