Sometimes I Wish...

Sometimes I wish
I were a part of the turning wheel
of Infinite Space and Time,
to cherish and spread
the ten thousand wonders of the mortal lands.
Connecting the Past and Present,
the hearts and dreams that soar above the mountains...

Amidst the Milky Way, clouds of twinkling stars,
millenniums of light-year travel from afar,
are those celestial orbs still there today,
or just a shadow
of a dream
long passed away…
 
Sometimes I wish
I were the Wind to wander across the world
Today: frolicking in the bustling harbor
Tomorrow: from a secluded haven,
floating on nature music in lovers' autumn,
envisioning a pair of hazel eyes
reflecting pools of liquid moonlight…

See over there the lines of pine trees on the hilltops,
stretching upward proudly toward the sun,
embracing light, wind and dewdrops,
waving their arms toward the far horizon...
Miles out in the Western Sea,
dolphins dancing in boisterous glee.
Rippling waters and ocean tides,
forever singing The Song of Death and Life!...

Sometimes I wish
I were an enchanted river of poetic dreams
To empathize with thousands of spiritual kins:
Moments of deep sorrow and sparkling mirth,
laughter, hope, despair, and soul rebirth.
Images of warriors sharpening swords under the moonlight
Their spirits still echo in nature with their might.
And from the women chambers,
silent tears calling out to their husband soldiers...
The loneliness so heavy, like a tangible fog,
wrapping in dark gloom the fragile human heart.
O God! Why’s Fate chosen so often blind
to sever Love from Love
on the long journey of Life...
