A Wish Unfulfilled The Dream opens to the ancient forest bare feet running down familiar path heart beating wildly to pain filled tune moon gazing upon deepest sorrow Reaching the meadow she does not stop knowledge that his spirit won’t be there out of habit the wishing well calls everything around frozen in time The star field remembers this sad song they dim their brightness in sympathy there will be no dance of souls tonight time and distance beacons him elsewhere A dark cloud forms over the valley lightning and thunder share her torment raindrops mingle with tears on her face letting go of a wish unfulfilled She leans broken on the wishing well then her spirit embraces the truth softness and understanding flows deep harmony and acceptance feels right The moon is reflected in the well drawing her gaze to the starlit sky a meteor shower rains magic true love will come when the time is right Karen Mc Neil August 5, 2012 *may our dreams ever be magical* |

THIS is a keeper, Karen. You wove a truthful and wonderful poem. The last line is, of course, the kicker. I know that it is true, for I found my true love most recently. True, it isn't the way I had anticipated, it being with complications and all, but it is what it is and I am wonderfully happy. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

"The moon is reflected in the well drawing her gaze to the starlit sky a meteor shower rains magic true love will come when the time is right" Excellent write. Even better close. That last verse is a gem. JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
