WINTER WISH
by Michael Langston

If my wish could be granted
On this cold, wintry night,
If wishes could somehow
Be made to come true,
This is my wish for me and you:

To have the hundreds of miles
Now standing between us
All magically changed…
Into just a few short inches
Of warm, moonlit air,
To touch your dear face
In the dim moonlight,
And to lovingly embrace you
On a warm summer’s night.
