I Wish Poem by Leonard Akwo

If life was a disc
i will rewine the lustre plate
ignoring the cracking risk
and return to that early state
when my heart was a clean slate
to begine life anew
like a shoot at the touch of dew

If the globe was clay
i will smash it down once again
rid it off its staling decay
rolling it back to the point it strayed
and remould a new globe like a tender bairn
devoid of blemish, devoid of stain
a safe harbour for strained souls
