And A Stone

Somewhere in the depths of a fast running stream

Lie the stones holding all of my wishes

Tied with my innocent invisible string

Drifting away with the colorful fishes

I wonder if they read of my deepest desires

The hopes of a child’s make believe

The ones stirring a life changing fire

The Ones yet to be fully conceived

Did the bubbles rise up as they giggled

At the plans I sent skipping the waves

Will it count if I tossed in a nickel

Or if I promise to always be brave

Maybe one day I’ll go and take them all back

Walk the shores and collect all the stones

Or maybe I’ll sit neath a tree with a snack

Keep on wishing and just leave them alone
