The Gift of a Day

in tangerine streamers and crimson bows this day unwrapped itself like the gift that it is the edges of the horizon held the moon flickering like candles atop a cake before fading in the trails of smokeless mist the break of day blossomed in a palette of autumn's golden bouquet delicately painted upon the cannvas tonight i will send my wishes adrift with the stars in hopes of a tomorrow's rise

If those wishes are anywhere near as beautiful as this poem, I know they will come true. This was gorgeous, perhaps a little lonely but still filled with beautiful thoughts and wishes.
