Once Upon a Wish

In my dreams,
I saw your reflection in the fountain
As I swirled the water with my finger
The stars are shining upon us tonight
The night air carried a sweet perfume
We are caught up in its torrid current

You held my hand
As we walked...
We came upon a wishing well
You reached inside your pocket
And retrieved an ordinary coin

I took it
And turned it into an extraordinary wish
Closing my eyes, I heard a plop

And woke up.
