Turning Time

#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo Day 7

Book cover of Max Wolf. Die Milchstrasse.

Delicate cotton whispers
Caressing my lonely soul
With promises unspoken;
I sink deeper into slumber
Where my dreams are of
The stars, moon, and you.

If the Earth spins backwards
And Time turns anti-clockwise
Would you still wait for me
At the other side of midnight
Under the shooting stars
And the lonesome skies?
