My One Wish...

Now is the time

Hold it

Before it takes flight

Closing hand

Feel gently

Between finger and thumb

What is real

And all that is right

Quivering voice deep within

Push it down

Best not let that begin

Will drown out 

The sound of you

Choose the right voice

To listen to

Fluttering wings

Fragile body

Eyes scanning skies

High and low

For god's sake

Don't let this go

Holding breath

Standing tall

Made it this far

Avoid a fall

Keep stepping 

Heel to toe

Feel earth underfoot

Shuffle one then two

You know what to do

Clasp that hand

Try not to misunderstand

There are no doubts

No reservations

Being here with you

Feel that flutter

Delicate thing

Don't want to be hurt

Shouldn't have to think

Just be at one

With all that has begun

Feel all that I am

Finally realise

I see my true self 

Reflected in those eyes

Slowly release a once tightly formed grip

Let it flow and just be so

I am me 

That is all that I have ever wanted to be

Lengthening stride 

As I grow from deep inside

I don't know how this began

You were just this man

But I know who I am 

And all that I feel

My one wish

Just keep it real
