Desire: A poem by Ouma A. Cynthia

Clear eyes,

To see beyond the deepest edges of the sea.

A sharp tongue,

To utter the letters of life.

Solomon's wisdom,

To regret less of life.

Create in me a new heart,

Bigger to accommodate more than love.

A visionary mind,

To walk before the intentions.

Lengthen the hay days,

With moons upon countless seasons,

More of summer and winters.

I desire to count the stars with broader smiles,

Upon the scars of memories,

The thirst for life,

Desire to live.
