The Wish

Resting below, lost in each other's eyes;
A brand-new couple on the empty beach.
The full, virgin moon behind wispy clouds
Offers nature's candlelight. Soft shadows
Tossed, a dash of mystery in the air.
Champagne waves loll in, touch the water's edge.
Their first kiss is born; more than love can love.
Asking for forever, ... "Star light, star bright. .. "

--Mary Baschoff

Soulmate
Sister whipoorwill calling <?u!Soul
singing harmony with the nsmg moon
softly leading the firefly rmst
I hear you in the dark
Dawn may let us share love with dew
before summer turns the hour

Dusk may grace our eyes
with fading fire in the clouds

And in the soft black night
We can carry the Starlight Tune
Together

--Pat Blackman
