Alone at night
She had the tendency to pray
For the most unlikely things:
Knights in shining armours,
Fantastic beasts,
Moon driven mills,
And shining stars
That might,
One day,
Wander in her path.

Nice touch. Sounds like Doña Quijote. I love the image of moon driven mills

If only.... if only that were what we pray for when left alone. I fear the reality is far more prosaic.
