If Wishes Were Horses
If Wishes Were Horses

poem

If wishes were horses, I would need a very large stable

And a much bigger paddock than the one I have got.

There would be work for a stable hand and plenty of fresh manure

For anyone who wanted it.

Some of those wishes are Arabian stallions,

Majestic race horses astounding in their speed and beauty,

Others are little Shetland ponies, pets for children and eminently cuddly.

2020 was a year of unfulfilled wishes,

A jumble of instructions on how to live like we never lived before.

There is only one way to sort these wishes out.

We must come together and invent a method,

A route to new cycles of cooperation.

Then we can mount those horses,

hold tight to the reins,

gallop through the sea salt spray,

with wind in our hair and smiles on our faces.

At one with nature and the vagaries of life.
