If a flower, I just wish to be a wildflower

Not perfumy or a dazzling beauty

Merry with clouds, sunshine, and wind by the roadside

A gentle friendship that endures forever …

Wish to be the rain falling into a quiet realm

Flooding the evening road with cleansing purity and love

Wish to be the cloud lost in the path of impermanence

Within the ancient blue sky, floating low and high

Wish to be the wandering wind for a thousand ages,

Since forever, no border or barrier in place

Wish to be the night embracing the path of moonlight

Wish to be the ageless silver-haired sea waves

Chasing dreams and forgetting life for months and days

Wish to be this very moment that stands still

Forgets old sorrows, tomorrow still there

Wish to be the eagle flying with the wind

Wings outstretched, hugging the vast sky

Wish to be just a plain phrase

With eye expressions that speak volumes of words

Still in the heart, lot of feelings unsaid

To make the heart skip beats in one’s chest

Feelings of affections and mild sadness

Pervades the poem with gentle feelings

Moments of simple happiness

Touching softly a corner of my heart

Touching softly a corner of your heart…
