scruffer's blog: "The Wishing Well"

TheWishing Well

THE WISHING WELL He ambled across the meadow,past the copse of trees.Off in the distance rolling thunder chased the wind.The same wind that whipped without notice for his heart was filled with such warmth he would not be affected by it. His steel blue eyes focused on his destination,his mind on her.He held in his pocket a penny,the very penny placed on him for good luck the day he was born.Tarnished except for its shiny worn edge.Funny how it got smoother as it aged while his face a blueprint of his years. Standing there rolling the penny between his thumb and forefinger,his mind now racing a myriad of thoughts,trepidation,longing but always returning to her.The crisp fresh spring air reminding him of her,after all not much didn`t.He wondered if she was allright,warm,safe,if she was looking up or down. It sat there as it had for many a year,its edges also worn and weathered.The cedar shingles a little less pristine.Eight sides,slatted boards and a pully the bucket long since gone. If it could only speak the stories held,the wishes wished.A place where everything,anything was possible.Lasso the moon,lunch in Paris,dinner in Milan,then dancing in Spain.Or something simpler,a wish for another,not for himself but for her. The sun trying to break free of the stubborn clouds.He took the penny and closing his eyes,wished.Then tossing toward the waiting well.It was there in mid flight as it tumbled end over end that he seen her,at least the twinkle of her eyes as the faint sun reflected off the worn shiny edge.A tear rolled down his cheek as he stood there,just stood there,then whispered i`m sorry. I can`t tell you what he wished for.I wonder if she is looking up or down. It`s true,if you put your thumb on your wrist you can feel the beat of anothers heart.
