Children’s Lanterns
Summer night
Front porch swing
Children’s delight
Laughter heard in the dark
Catch fire flies in mason jars
Childhood lanterns light the night
Stars twinkle and shine
Fingers crossed
Wishes made
Bright stars make
No guarantees
Invite new wishes
Each and every night
Stars are lanterns in the sky
Beacon moths
As they balance and spin
Careful not to alight
Their gossamer wings

River of Stones: One daily observation

Clouds are pregnant with promise. The mesa waits with fingers crossed!
