☆ How I wished… ☆

☆

How I wished no one ever got separated

in the desolate vistas of ephemeral life,

How I wished we all stayed together like

the banks of perennial rivers, in all our strife…

*

How I wished hearts never got broken in

the automnal blaze of the earthly sojourns

How I wished we could remain bissfully

happy with each other, without any mourns…

*

How I wished we never had any grouses, for

there’ll not exist any heartburns till eternity

No unfounded fears, grudges, angst, anxieties

or heartwrenching afflictions, for posterity…

*

How I wished everyone lived happily

in own world, with no worries whatsoever,

How I wished that the ebullient universe

remained blissfully prosperous, forever..!
