The Wish

The only thing that resembles love in this world is nature.

I wish nature had arms—

 to wrap around me, 

to love me the way I need to be loved.

I wish the blue oceans would cradle me in their calm, 

their waves whispering that I’m safe.

I wish the green trees would hold me tight, 

roots deep, 

promising never to let go of me.

I wish the clouds would offer a blanket— 

soft, weightless, tucking me into the sky 

where no heartache can ever reach.

Nature does not ask. 

It does not judge. 

It simply is— 

Present. 

Loving. 

and Enough for a lifetime.
