Miles of Wishes

Empty footprints in the snow, leave me wishing you are here The miles feel so far right now, as you are not near Cold air nips my face, as gray skies lay so far away But there above me, blue skies find an open place to stay Scattered with wisps of clouds, the snow no longer falls Just what’s left beneath my feet and all these thoughts that flow The wishes you could know, all that I hold on tight inside Especially for you, as my heart continues to hide Maybe you will see these clouds, float by where you are And then you’ll see my wishes, with the next shooting star Heidi Sands 12/4/19
