When I...

When you stroll along your favourite stretch of beach...
who do you think of?
whose footsteps do you wish accompanying yours?

When you stare at your ceiling from your bed...
what clouds your mind?
what thots soothes you afar?

When you hear the story of another...
did you recall yours?
did you judge or observe?

When you stumble upon your own pebbles...
did you pause to wonder if others stumble too?
did you even bother?

When you feel an unexpected emotion...
did you stop it short?
did you understand its implications?

When you think you know urself better...
are you really sure?
are you just stubborn?

When you behave the way you do...
did you understand your intentions?
were you responding to instincts?

When you close your eyes...
do you have a choice?
what do you hope to see?

I'm still finding my answers.

That's what I've gathered over the past few weeks
more questions than answers.
hopefully with each question, I'll derive more abt myself.

And for one final question:

When you blow the candles...
what did you wish for?

what did I wish for?

what will I wish?
