WISHES

If only the trees could talk
Sing dance or merrily walk
Right inside your heart and soul
Make you complete encompassed whole

If only the stars could see
These wishes trapped inside of me
Like chained prisoners of circumstance
Awaiting for their second chance

If only the night could know my dreams
Glimpse my turmoil or hear my screams
Carry me and my love to tir na -og
Make our love nest the lost abode

If only the hedges could whisper truth
Detect the devious or be the sleuth
Uncover all that is here wasted time
Give love and bliss a simple rhyme

If only the moon could change our fate
Take us back in time make it not too late
Create the situation for love to flourish
Fertile ground from the inner nourished

If only the flowers growing could weep
A river of tears for the lost and meek
To wash away sadness heartbreak regret
These wishes for her have not happened yet

If only these wishes could disappear
Or be conveyed by burning spear
Into your marriage of existing despair
Between the sublime and that easy chair
