I Wish, I Was Green
At 3.00 am, I wish again
For the harsh sands of time
To soften, after last night’s misty rain
I wish, to learn something new every day
Sometimes I did not remember what I wished for
But I know every dawn beholds a new horizon
I wish, the weathered trees themselves
Would rekindle my stolen dreams
And turn them into a forest of eternal green
I wish, my every fallen leaf
To be waiting there
At the top of my stairs

A perfect trio of photo, poem and song, Ivor! Got me teary-eyed.
So many powerful things …emotionally, dream-wise, thoughts…can go on at 3 a.m.
Your poem makes me think of one of my fave poems by Robert Frost… “Nothing Gold Can Stay”.

A brand new wish we make for ourselves, every single day, keeps our hopes alive, and that’s what, motivates us to, wake up in the mornings.

If wishes were horses, man would gladly ride. But many are our wishes, that even if we get a chance to ride, we would not be able to ride them all.
Very beautiful Write Ivor.
Congratulations!

Great write, Ivor. The song is new to me. I enjoyed listening to it.
I forgeot to mention that the Leonard Cohen song is a favorite.
Oh, who am I kidding, I love all his songs. ~~~ : – )
