I wish I could —
shoulder the Earth,
swallow the Ocean,
shift the mountains,
and stitch the edges of the world.

I wish I could —
still the wind,
pull down the Sky,
command the Sun,
and cradle the Rain.

I wish I could —
shatter all Sin,
kick out Sorrow,
banish Death,
and silence every ache.

I wish I could —
just enough
to carve this world
into a place
where joy stays.
