​IwishIwishIwishIwish….

By Adagios

IwishIwishIwishIwish….


1.
This wanting grace feeling
Oh hopeful next year season
Frigidly malfeasant
Found discarded reason

2.
Effervescent nevermore
Born of singular delights
Loss collectively deplored
Want in solitary strife

3.
Paradox is everywhere
Deeply misaligned design
Reflection leading to despair
Lessons taught in overtime

4.
Learned responses now aligned
Refracted light can be a lie
Another year alone resigned
Another reason not to try

    "Manana is good enough for me" - maybe eh A.? Some solid stanzas. That "loss collectively deplored" line speaks to a peer pressure perhaps. Something that might be akin to "grace" in our value society. Cheers! - Dan
