Wishes For All Seasons - 2022
We wish you:
Loving in all the right places
snowflake kisses in sweet breathy seconds
a present in the unwrapping of life everyday
greenshoots of new ideas in the spring
feathering on antlers under autumnal moons
a summer of singing inside and out
buckets of daffodils under bright chirpy windows
images that please as well as they tease
discovery in every inch of a body
a body to love and to taste and to hold
wings of an angel on the back of someone you least expect
books that engage and invite you to devour
a pulse you can feel in the loudest of rooms
rain when you're thirsty
sheets to cover both of you
feathers to fall on after the race
silk to caress your face
the gentleness of firm fingers to massage your scalp
a wish box that keeps generating wishes
dreams scented with delicacies only you can imagine
diamonds and gold as you open your eyes
money in the bank and food on the table
pearls instead of tears and rubies instead of pain
pleasure in the smallest of things
a rocket full of candy
a pocket full of cookies
fish on a line that you bait
opportunity nets for catching like butterflies
hopes that are met with reality outcomes
lovers who treasure the treasures within you
beautiful monsters to eat up your enemies
a quest for the grail of your choice
love of distant lands
magic and beauty in nature around you
wealth and income from unusual and interesting sources
horses of thunder to carry you over the seas
sensuality in abundance
a quiet ecstasy of grace in the light of unutterable beauty
contradictions that challenge and raise you up
celestial knowledge that drops from the stars as you sleep
perception beyond that which you already have
poplars to shade you as the sun beats down
composure and poise in the face of ugliness
serenity in the treat that chocolate cake affords
hair that only grows where it should
a heart peppered with shots of excitement
the desire to find more and to search without hesitation
mysterious games that lead to pleasure
whispers of camaraderie in silent empty rooms
tubes of paint that never run dry
cameras that can both tell the truth and lie
evolution of your space inside your mind
giggles and laughter until your sides split
piquant invitations to midnight trysts
ghosts to bring your courage
mountains that are scalable
a life full of adventure with dragons and friends
boxes of surprises mostly good
adversity to overcome to make you feel stronger
poetry that slips from the lips of your lover
a blaze of inspiration that does not burn your toes
the songs of gypsies to inspire you
words on a page that woo you
divinity in the way you worship
ambiguity in anything that confuses you
happy obsessions that exclude no one close
heaven springing from within all things
tactile sensations that tickle and enrich the fabric of your heart
architectural curves that bring tears of joy every time
scarves that flutter like eyelashes from yesterday
fairy tales that only ever have a happy ending
and always, a roof over your head, good wine to drink and a song in your heart every day
