Set the Sky on Fire (rewrite)

I want to set the sky on fire
with a tiny spark of hope
I want to kiss a strange guy
with passion my heart can hold.


I want to blow a bubble, climb inside 
hurl myself up to the moon
I want to gather up a few bright stars
flash across cold crackling doom.


I want to taste sweet innocence
of soft snowflakes on my lips
Each one a yummy kiss.
Alighting from heavens above
melted morsels of tasty bliss.


I want to swim in water clear
race a school of fish
Nap inside sun's hot white light
a hopelessly childish wish.


I want to dance with my girls,
The music so loud, you can feel it.
Twirling and whirling, until
the floor and ceiling are one
and we fall down giggling.


I want most to keep alive
these notions as a small girl.
I want to kiss away the hurt,
two step across tomorrow's gate
play barefoot in cool, lush clover.


These are just a few wishes
though intangible I suppose
Heaven on earth a few moments.
Heaven, ever so close.

    I can see why... this was beautiful. A litany of all the wonderful wishes that live in our hearts and that are seldom shared... (and I wouldn't recommend kissing deercatcher either ) Thank you for sharing this wonderful part of yourself.
