I Wish Poem by David Whalen

<center>
I wish that rainbows…
Could be touched

That fog and mist
Would feel like velvet

Inhale their essence
Tho' ne'er too much

Yet know and sense
Their very presence…

These gossamer things
Of substance sheer

Like fairy wings
That hover near

I wish…I wish…
With all my heart

That Trolls and elves
Live… and take part

In some wondrous place
Somewhere…

I wish imagination
Could become reality

And cold reality would cease
to exist…everywhere

I wish all things
Of legend and lore

All things mysterious,
Magical and more

Could exist and persist
Just outside my door

Oh I wish…I wish
…I wish…
