You Wishing

You Wishing

You
on the spring shore
where waves applaud on sand
where marram grass resists 
Here lives the coldest  wind
and no one else is there but you 
Staying to watch 
with arms braced 
watching a world 
drown then reborn
You
imagining
devising the improbable
you 
silent
wishing the impossible
you 
with cold fingers gracefully
cupping an orchid
in hope, in soft hope
silent words
falling from your lips
