Wishes

I hope all goes well for you.

I hope your favourite person comes unannounced when you are sad. I hope your neighbour miraculously plays your favourite song when you are feeling lonely. I hope the moon shines longer when you are afraid of the dark. I hope the sun shines gently when your skin is hurting. I hope you find something that reminds you of life when you are feeling dead inside. I hope you find your way home when you are feeling lost. I hope you find someone/something that fills you. I hope the wind blows gently when you crave that sweet breeze against your face.

I hope your lover touches you kindly. I hope where you are feels like home. I hope the room adjusts to accommodate you when you are too weak. I hope you find someone who speaks your language. I hope your bed becomes soft on the nights you are unable to turn. I hope the world lowers its noise when your mind is racing. I hope sleep comes quickly before your thoughts take over. I hope the love feels like love. I hope bed rest strips fatigue off you and nourishes your body and soul. I hope sunrise brings clarity and new beginnings. I hope that dark tunnel you are walking through leads you to your dreams.

I hope those high walls crumble at the sound of your feet on the floor.
