Wish

for dVerse

As the maple leaves fall down from the trees

Tossed and carried by the mellifluous breeze

Wish on each glorious red soaring leaf

And watch your wishes blown with belief

Riding on the russet air sailing boats

Higher and higher in the sky they float

Then plummet like a joyful roller coaster

And pop up again like toast from a toaster

Stand there and watch until the breeze ends

Catch the leaf in hand; see what it portends

Shining red gold like a fairy’s song

Hold it close; gaze at it often and long

Somewhere on that autumn day your wish took flight

Now follow it always into the light
