I wish for you a garden
a garden full of grace
where the earth smells sweet
hints of hollyhock and camomile
I wish for you a pair of wings
that flutter soft like baby’s heart
but fly feral through the storm
I wish for you a sun-baked sky
where rain drizzles daydreams
and clouds kiss your eyes
I wish for you an emerald stream
where fellow fairies dip their toes
with tiny tea cups
sipping slow on apricot tea
I wish for you a haven
feather landing, velveteen
rosy cheeks, pillow dreams
where it seems there
is no darkness
only light
just hold on tight
For this week’s Poetics at dVerse Poets Pub
It is my pleasure to feature “Vika Muse”, a Ukrainian digital artist, who despite the despair and chaos in her country continues to shine through her artistry. She has kindly shared her work with us as inspiration. We are hoping to share a little light between her beautiful work and our poetry. We welcome you to join in.
You can find “Vika Muse” on Instagram @get.muse

This poem is dedicated to Vika Muse.

This reads like a wonderful lullaby… there is nothing sweeter than to wish someone loved the best of sleep.
That is a sweet wish…safety and sleep.
So beautifully writ. I agree with Bjorn….how I would love to hear this sung. Perfect for children…or for anyone needed to believe. You have indeed brought light through your writing…may all these wishes come true.
I hope they do…for all who need them. Thanks Lil.
What lovely, lovely wishes, Mish! Sigh. I agree–it is like a lullaby.
Thank you so much, Merril. 🙂
Such a beautiful, dreamy verse, that seems to fit Vika Muse’s images — where rain drizzles daydreams…so lovely…
Thanks Ain…and I’m grateful you were ok with quoting you in the prompt. You are an important link at this time. Be well, be safe.
I can hear Billy Joel singing this to his grandchildren. It is so lovely, light and hopeful; good on you.
Interesting! Thank you, Glenn.

Aww thanks so much.
My pleasure.
This is such a beautiful poem of hope and dreams. I see we liked the same art piece! :>)
Yes we did, Dwight! The little fairy holding on was so endearing.
Yes, I thought so as well!
Hummingbirds are good for wishes. (K)
Always! thanks
Beautiful! I love the bird and fairy in this image… but all of Vika’s art is stunning. I wish for her, peace and goodwill. ❤
Thank you, Colleen. I hope all her wishes come true.
She is so talented. She deserves the best. ❤
So dreamlike and uplifting Mish. Beautiful images it paints in the mind. Wonderful.
Very sweet, Mish, and the perfect contrast to the dark. Much enjoyed.
The repetition of the wishes, a series of beautiful ones build up here to make a beautiful Love Poem. I liked the choices of Vika’s art work, each one inspired thoughts from which to develope poetry.

This is so tender – beautifully done – wishes upon wishes …
