Stars Wishes And Dreams Poem by Barry Middleton

the wish I have is made of stars
and dreams within the midnight blue
in darkness I yet find your hand
and walk a velvet path with you

the tears of time recede like tides
that can't resist the rising moon
and I can hear the sea's request
as breezes stir a shifting dune

return to me the wind implores
a kiss will seal the pledge we make
a wish for passion to endure
that dreamers swear to not forsake

but sands and time cannot desist
the planet turns and waits for none
the moon completes another quest
we make our trip around the sun

although my dreams can never stay
when wishes fade in morning light
by day I watch the ticking clock
till I embrace the stars tonight
