Why wish on a star?

All too far away to wait

From here to there and back

Spent a lifetime of waiting

Visible light from years ago

Wish on one that’s falling?

It’s not even a star

Gaze up to those abandoned wishes

Millions of hopes and dreams

Waiting an eternity

Infinite fantasies

All so meaningless now

Why sit and wait for the time to arrive

Take off to greet it halfway

-I speculate gazing up at a lonely light (my star)
