Wish Upon a Tossed Coin
The blue moon’s shining
essence
Ricochets off the
twilight mirror pond
Fireflies dart and
hover
Over her celestial
Looking glass mirage
~
A shadow pitches
coins
Into Mother Nature’s
soul
Each set free one by one
Wishing one single pining
dream would come true
shining throughout
~
Hushed sighs exhale
secret wishes
Heard from the hidden shoreline
A stone’s throw away
You can’t ever get back
the wish
After the coin is thrown
~
The coin’s splash
dimples
The still water
surface
Echoing within the
silence
With the verve
of a subtle symphony
~
of a subtle symphony
~
Driving the rippled
rings
Across the mirror
ponds still waters
Fading into the
distant horizon
further than beyond
further than beyond
~
If a star falls into vast
still waters
Does anybody hear the
sound?
We are only one starlit
shining coin’s wish away from
Driving the rippled still
water's hope on forever
Through the end of time . . .
