a Wish

some human souls yearn for a better world, a better existence

i want to see tomorrow
so i can see today

i want to see the London Bridge 
on a quiet night
with foggy lights

the sound of a fog horn 
far away over the sea
no one around

men drinking ale
their warm embrace
in a cherry wood pub

i want to see tomorrow
in quiet stillness
fresh scent air,
rose lined
streets of
sweet

Calcutta 
restored

i want to see children
comforted
and widows stop crying

forever inscribed
on solid gold,
a thick plaque
atop The White House

i want to see smiles
and universal
embrace of peace
stand immovable

on monumental
gigantic rock

Mount Everest

see the frozen corpses
come alive
hear them laugh
and sing their
tales
hold their loves and
brush their cheeks
a kiss
a welcome home
beyond
eternity

i want to see tomorrow
so i can see today
