Tanabata
The palms shed their fronds
The heat rises from the sand
I blink through the stars
My journey is swift
I'm dressed for the occasion
Eyes bright as ever
If a wish day helps
Then I wish for your wish day
To be etched in time
Five colored paper
Scribed by the council of nine
Penultimate primes
Both ends protected
Guiding children toward their rest
In each other's arms
These double digits
One in name and one by birth
Laugh and dance their way
Start of forever
End of all the beginnings
I wish it hastened
But my first wish stands
Echoing her wildest dreams
'till she comes my way
