Simple Wishes

At night I listen during daylight I look
Trying to find reason where none exist
Searching for clues though none are left
Something stirs
Something afoot
So close but just out of grasp
Almost palpable
Sometimes it flickers in your eyes
or can be heard in your voice
The undercurrent of our discourse
Amicable and sweet, melancholy and distant
An interesting mix waiting anxiously
Hoping for the anti visceral to be acted upon
For something, for anything, to click, to manifest
For the thing that will transform and propel
Simple wishes to grandiose dreams fulfilled.
