Hail Mary Pass
by Dawn Anderson → (All Poetry by Dawn Anderson)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

The first snow of

the season lay two

floors below, and as

he glanced out into

the night sky he caught

sight of a star twinkling

off in the distance. 

He momentarily closed

his eyes and like a desperate

quarterback threw a Hail Mary

pass out into the night, hoping

for its completion – a plea –

from his lips to God’s ears.

Dawn - Love the title " Hail Mary Pass." I feel that quiet solitude, reinforced by the silence of the first snow. Especially liked:

and like a desperate

quarterback threw a Hail Mary

pass out into the night, hoping

for its completion – a plea –

from his lips to God’s ears.

Luckily he's throwing to an All-Pro receiver. - David

I love the feeling in this poem... the almost palpable sense of desperation on his lips...
But then...you are a master with creating those strong emotions in your characters with only a few short words.

I believe I have had a few of those moments Dawn...when one finds themselves wishing upon the very stars...for a wish to become true or for their God to hear their voice...it is something that surely has become that Hail Mary pass we all have thrown...

very nice work of thought...
