Making Wishes

~*~ Taking a breath beneath heaven’s glowing embers Calling the moon as it passes in the night Feeling a breeze through the branches softly whisper Dreaming of you under stardust glittered light Kicking a stone till it tumbles past the forest Singing our song to the echoes that I hear Counting the stars when I notice one is falling Walking alone making wishes you were here

How beautiful. I know... there's just something about the moon, isn't there? Another one where the yearning is palpable. Very nicely done <3

Your wonderful spirit has penned a poem in which the subject is alone, but the reader is not. Amazingly, he/she is gladdened. Such promise in the 'simple' acts described. Wonderful! Best wishes always, Gershon
