Wistful (by Leo Collotzi)

Time and time again, 

I find myself hoping

For something very grand

Like I have the sun at my command

Every star shines for me

And the world is at peace

And I’m not broken anymore

There is so much to explore

I find that I wonder 

About every little thing

When my great day finally comes

I will unfold my feathered wings

I will enjoy every moment that life brings

No longer dragging feet, my steps will spring

No more mumbling, I will sing

Bright flames leap from my fingers

Every waking moment lingers

Golden magic flows from

My body and reaches

Above it all

I will fly, I will soar

Across the universe

I can be so much more

Finding power in every verse

I will dance in the moonlight

Every day is full of delight

I won’t let my spirits go dark

I will vanquish the night

I travel through several realms

Knowing fully well

That I am full of wishes

Always so wistful

Never giving up

Diamond in the rough

I will find others

Who will treat me well

We would follow each other

To the gates of hell.

Bonds are forever

Always strong

Dreaming on, so wistful
