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
