Carefully
Tossing pennies in the well,
Makes wishes
~From soft dreams,
With no one around to tell;
Closing eyes
~As they fall
Lightly splashing far below,
Look to clouds
~Drifting off
To the land where warm winds blow,
Gracefully
~Sprouting wings
Follows the clouds as they go,
Rising up
~Greets the sky
Feels the warming of the sun
Gone from sight
~Wishing well
As the spell becomes undone,
Fluffy cloud
~Drifting south
Notices not the wishes fell.

Even when
you are softer
than light,
still, you rim
the glass
with acrid truth...

as is your way, and always
a pleasure to read...

Professor,

I love the sound of penny splashes.
Maybe cause I know they hit their mark and there is a bottom, afterall.

Enjoyed this. But I think a wish made is a wish in the works, riding on the wind until granted, one way or the other, sooner and sometimes, very much later.
