Wish I Was

Wish I was the breeze
Floating by
Gliding over land and sea
Free and easy
Seeing you there
I would kiss your face

Wish I was an Eagle
On warm golden air
An overlord of bronze
With all seeing eyes
I would swoop down
And take you to the clouds

Wish I was the ocean
With power all around
Ever fresh and surging
Forever at your shores
Trying to reach you and
Dying on your beaches

This is the first poem I have read from Leigh, and it is a good one. Balanced, well paced with an excellent structure , it impresses with a clear voice. Good work, read it!

[Onlyme]

Beautiful flowing effortless poem of unity and harmony, balance in all. Being at one with mother nature. Breathing, living and fulfillment of presence.

our connection with nature is undeniable. this speaks to me of freedom, innocence and rising anonymously above withtout being tied to identity. so much can be gleaned from this free-flowing journey removed from the things of life that hold us down. i will have to read the multiple times. i love your analogies and anything to do with nature. there is a wonderful spiritual aspect. good stuff ... :)

And this is a good thing 😊

What I read here is "I wish I was anonymous." The narrator conveys a desire to observe and touch from a distance, to hide or conceal their identity, perhaps to avoid pain, perhaps to possess supernatural powers that give and impose love. A moving poem that leaves the reader wanting to know the narrator a little more. An excellent write.

Wish I was able to find this sooner. ;)

Ahh, yes, that is how it feels...

[Siddhartha Chatterjee]

Simple, effective, with a touch of romanticism.

A feel of a free spirit rendered in a poetic beauty!
