Blog Guelph: I Wish I Could Tell You

I wish I could tell you all the beautiful things I’ve witnessed in my life. I wish I could show you the shadows, share the capacity. I wish I knew how to share my love openly, my pain fearlessly.

I wish I could tell you

About me

I wish I could know how to be unchained. Run a riot of freedom. Speak the deep truth. Share with you the drink of depthless ocean.

I’d offer myself but I’m afraid. In the night I think it is not enough. In the day I see the banks of a river’s edge. And through it’s edges I wander. Covered by trees, protected by dandelion dreams.

I wish I could tell you

The greatness the weakness. The skies I’ve seen at morning and at sun’s end. All the minutes I was fighting. The hours I was remembering. The times I was praying. The days I was counting. The miles I was crossing. The hope I was holding.

I wish I could tell you
