skyward

skyward

I smile away

the familiar pain of love

transient like moonshine

and walk back into my dreams

love’s crest illumined on high seas

lends light

to floating, dancing stars

the melodious rhythm

of moon-washed waves

matches Ganesha’s cosmic dance

I steal a look at the rising winds

in carefree abandon

and say a silent prayer--

“build me a ladder O winds of time

so that rung by rung

I can one day

reach and touch the skies.”
