A Wish

I sat in the hush of a day turn to dusk

With the wind at my back

And a wish upon my lips .

I shut my eyes

And cast my wish out

To the glow of the moon,

And the only star lit high in the sky.

.

I held onto hope that fate did hear

The wish I had laid at her feet.

But as the days went by

And year by year

With each new tear

That fell from sad eyes

I felt all hope was lost

.

But then...

.

You held out your hand to lure me in

With the soft lilt of a song

Sung just for me;

My mind did warn my ears.

Too good to be true?

Was this all for real?

Or just part of the plan

For fate to make a fool out of me?

.

But alas your kiss,

Was the key to set me free.

To tear down the wall

That kept me safe

That hid what I felt

What I did not want to say.

I let go of my fear

And dove in deep.

I fell so fast

I was not able to turn back.

.

I swam in awe at the blue of your eyes.

An ache and burn hit me at my core.

Lost in the lust

Of skin to skin

But more than that

With your soul tied to mine

It’s the look in your eyes

When not a word is said at all.

.

I sit in the hush

Of a day turn to dusk

But now with you at my side.

Fate did hear

And she gave me my wish;

To find my true love at last.
