Beautiful red maple

Moonlight silhouette

Initials in the trunk

A single figure sits underneath

A wish forms

Thrown in the air

Holding her breath

Waiting

Hoping

Wondering

Will her wish arrive?

Shooting stars

A halo in the sky

Big dipper shines

The constellations swirl in her eyes

The stars sing a single melody as they twinkle way up high

A simple symphony beats in her chest

Dawn breaks lighting up the sky

She stands, still a single silhouette

Finger tips brush the tree trunk

Tracing her wish

The wind ruffles her hair

Soft sigh

Memories dance in her head

No wish granted

She starts down the hill

Her wish still floating in the air.
