Memories , Wild Dream, Leftover

 What Lingers

By Sarah Mahina Calvello

Memories 

 

Moonbeams 

Circling azure sky 

Wild abandonment

Of a heart left behind 

Trying to collect more good

Wild Dream

 

Magic madness rains
There’s a wildness inside 
Wet and new
Full of possibilities 

New smells of flowers 
Honey and saffron 
The sky’s shelled colors unfold
One more wild dream

Spring moon lantern 

Illuminated halo

Deep blue starless night 

Sapphire and waiting 

Years flow like water 

Soft purple heather 

Sashay in the breeze

Leftover wishes remain

The sweetest echo

Under the milky white moon

The Wise Owl Daily Verse

May 2026 What Lingers
