A Wish

A simple wish:

"I want to go home."

The destination seems

so far away.

It should have been easy,

a straight path.

Distance did not matter,

as long as I kept the destination in mind.

But then the rains came,

the root of all my hardships.

of my delay.

I miss the familiar trees

around my home, the lakes, the streams

and even the cliffs.

But most of all,

I miss my family,

my friends,

my sense of belonging.

Amidst all the hardships, my wish remains

but now I start to wonder,

can it be granted?


Random Notes: I realize this poem was a bit obscure but I seem to like to write my poems that way... I apologize. Anyways, I wrote this one for Kurogane, back when his only wish was to get home. The part about his family and friends may not seem to fit but when I wrote that I was thinking of his past and his loyalty to Princess Tomoyo.

Alternate/sub titles I played with: "A Ninja's Wish" or "A Soldier's Wish"

Disclaimer: I do not own Kurogane. Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle is not my creation that right belongs to CLAMP.
