Under a Wishful Moon

Sun sinks on
distant horizon,
crickets chirp
lullabies.
The dreams of today rest be-
neath a wishful moon.

DARK NIGHTS

blanketing
the night, clouds cover
all hope of
shooting stars
and sending wishes to the
far side of the moon

WISHFUL THINKING
(a shadorma)

Summer sun
setting on humid
horizon ~
backdrop for
the little engine that could
bring you home to me.

WISHING FOR WHIMSY
(a shadorma)

She pauses
with glass pressed to lips
while her world
is wrapped in
green. She wishes it were so,
even just one day.

HOPE

My wish, deep within,
has not been to be just me…
but one half of we.

I watch other women
and men, bound
in marriage

and think and wonder
if I’m damaged
in some way.

I have and hold
on to a single
powerful thread of

hope.
