Lost Wishes Poem by Barry Middleton

Lost Wishes



hurry when you make a wish
hurry to make it happen
do not close your eyes

should you pause
should you wait
the path becomes overgrown

bramble will block the dream
and you may not return
a wish becomes a memory

in winter sleep is elusive
the chill will bring a shudder
an image of lost circumstance
