the longing is evident
childish, I know
within the quiet of darkness,
and writing under the sheets,
my wishlist, still nowhere near complete

You too, Audrey — writing under the sheets? Guilty, as charged, both for writing and reading there. But nothing satisfies like hope, right??

Sometimes that’s the best time, I suppose. 🙂

We always need an active wishlist.
The image is beautiful. The moon looks a bit like a partially eaten apple, but that might be based on the similarity to that company’s logo 🙂

I’m glad you think so, too, Dan.
I saw the moon in that spot and it reminded me of a photo a friend tried to achieve. 🙂

I love this poem, Audrey, with the suggestion of leftover childhood dreams still motivating you. As long as we have those goals, all things are possible.
