A ship loaded with desire

I wish you would
change your mind,
to get a break from
the pain traveling
through my flesh
and soul

I wish you would
change your mind
so that my hopes
were not dashed
like the waves breaking
on the rocks at Monterey

I wish you would
change your mind, to
listen to the sound of
cosmic bells and
take another dance
in the moonshine

And yet, I seem to drown
in my whirl of whishes,
gazing at the stars,
comforting my soul
thinking unfilled wishes
make space for new ones to come

So I change my mind and
remain at the bay
looking through
my telescope for a new
ship loaded
with desire
