This is me fantasizing what if all my wishes would come true . And comparing it with the reality and still keeping hope to keep going. Orizuru (Japanese) meaning folded crane. According to old Japanese beliefs if you fold a thousand paper cranes a wish of yours comes true. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_and_the_Thousand_Paper_Cranes
Only if paper cranes
flew
All my wishes would
come true
Some hung pretty,
strung thousand in a lace
Some perched on
table, sidelong aesthetic vase
Some full patterned,
colours several a piece
Some simple white,
still handsome indeed
Some lie on floor,
as angry crumpled lump
Some torn to half,
in a waste paper dump
Some drew blood,
with paper cuts deep
Some tainted soggy,
with last night's weep
But on all hills of
joy, in valleys of pain
Amid forest of
efforts, wandering lost insane
I march on ahead,
till the life-moon wanes
& keep searching
treasure,
keep folding paper cranes
Still ,
Only if paper cranes
flew....
