Wishes

by nouriguess   Feb 21, 2023


One day I'll wake up from
a deep sound sleep, stretch in my bed,
watch birds out the window, as my coffee brewer
flaunts the herbal aroma all over the
place.

I'll go for a morning jog, breathe in
the early breeze, follow the path of lilies
and let the sunshine wash over me.

One day, I'll scroll through my newsfeed
and it's only photos of happy
and safe people, discussing
which vacation spot is the cheapest, or
what insurance company they should use,
or why peas aren't growing in
their gardens.

One day, I'll lay down next to my lover,
read a book, kiss goodnight
and get a deep, sound sleep.

    Noura, my friend. Its been a long time, and here you still are, touching my heart and dripping such hope and sadness onto the page. This is just beautiful, that type of beauty that has an undercurrent of pain and sadness but hope and life. Keep writing, I've missed reading your work. Love, x

    Edit: Congrats on the win girl, as always so deserved!
