Lexophile in motion - Wishing well(Updated 01-19-08) by Dean Masciarelli

As I was walking down the trail
I noticed a wishing well
so I decided I would take
a closer look at it for myself

When I stood by the lip
of the well looking down
I noticed it still had water in it

And it was in that moment
that I decided that now
would be a great time
to make a wish

So I thought to myself for a moment
and then I pulled a coin
out from my pocket

Because I knew that it was time
so I turned around
with my back facing
the wishing well

Because I had made my wish
and I was ready to toss
the coin into the well

I flipped it over my shoulders
and I waited patiently to hear
the sound of water splashing

For a moment there all I could hear
was the wind whispering to me

So I decided to get a little closer
and to look inside the wishing  well
and I kept waiting for the coin
to splash at the bottom of the well

Finally I could  hear
the coin as it lightly
splashed down  with a plop into the water

I leaned over the edge of the well
and I could see the circles in the water

And I could also see the
beautiful reflections of clouds in the skies
and all the colors were absolutely radiant

But in that reflection
in the well
I could also see
a beautiful angel
in the clouds above me

And thats  when I knew
that all my wishes and dreams
would come true
