“Sometimes I wish that I could catch the wind
Sometimes I wish that I could catch the wind
I’d hold it in my arms
I’d hold it in my arms
Think of you, and then I’d let it go…”
~ “Sometimes I Wish” performed by Guy Davis on Butt Naked Free.
"I am offering this poem to you, since I have nothing else to give." ~Jimmy Santiago Baca
“Sometimes I wish that I could catch the wind
Sometimes I wish that I could catch the wind
I’d hold it in my arms
I’d hold it in my arms
Think of you, and then I’d let it go…”

“How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.”
~ David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, “Wish You Were Here,” from Wish You Were Here
Runnin’ from the devils Lord and reachin’ for the stars
And losin’ all he loved along the way…He’s a poet he’s a picker he’s a prophet he’s a pusher
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned
He’s a walkin’ contradiction partly truth and partly fiction
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
~ Kris Kristofferson, “The Pilgrim, Chapter 33″, The Silver Tongued Devil And I
I wanna have friends that I can trust,
that love me for the man I’ve become not the man I was.
I wanna have friends that will let me be
all alone when being alone is all that I need.
I wanna fit in to the perfect space,
feel natural and safe in a volatile place.
And I wanna grow old without the pain,
give my body back to the earth and not complain.
“The Perfect Space” by The Avett Brothers, I And Love And You
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can’t I?
“Over the Rainbow” by Eva Cassidy, Live at Blues Alley
for my Aunt K.
