In a cosmic sea
of infinite possibilities
I plant a wish upon a shooting star.

A wish that my dreams will carry me
for renewal of a soul
that longs for peace.

In a cosmic sea
of forever challengers
I plant a wish on a comets aurora glow.

A wish that my dreams will anchor
nightly for rest
as I hold onto a cosmic string

A teardrop
stays
long suspended
in my eyes
stubborn not to spill
I wait for a wind
to shake it loose
in the dead of the night
to empty me
of my agony
to feel waking
out of a nightmare
to a sunlit
clear morn
