I wish for you

Dancing,

spinning and
spinning until you
fall onto the
grass,
joyful,
heart leaping from
chest

Laughter,
filling the room,
stretching your
smile,
kidnapping your
breath,
holding hostage
everything that
hurts or needs healed

Good health,
time to taste and
savour, relax
and let go of
things that
won’t mean
anything, won’t define
you at the
end

Friendship, calm
and sincere,
able to hold you
up or push
you forward,
clasp your secrets
in one hand and
your trust
in another,
never disappoint you
with jealousy
or anger

Freedom, to
choose, to chase,
to make right or
walk away, to
do the thing that
makes you feel most
alive, blows
goosebumps on your
skin, trumpets
blissfully
like
elephants in your
belly

But above all this…

I wish you love,
peaceful and
pure, kind and
always sure,
open with its arms,
able to forgive,

willing.
