I WISH I WERE A FISH
I wish I wish,
I wish I were a fish,
So I could swim down deep
and watch the mermaids sleep.
I wish I wish,
I wish I were a dragonfly,
Darting between the two worlds of earth and sky.
I wish I wish
I wish that a tree I could be,
Less distance between god and me.
I wish I wish,
I wish I were a daffodil,
In yellow glory on lakesides hill.
I wish I wish,
I wish I was a gentle duck,
Floating softly above the cloying muck.

I wish I wish,
I wish I were a wattle tree,
daubed in yellow gold,
Hearing all the secrets that the bees have told.
I wish I wish,
I wish I were a water sprite,
Laughing and giggling till dawns earliest light.
I wish I wish,
I wish I could rise with the moon,
Deep and Still and Free,
And live forever in the holiest part of me.
All these parts do make a whole,
And without them,
My tale could not be told.
