I wish I may, I wish I might...

“The night is wonderful” said a Star

As a tiny speck wished on it from afar


The Wish travelled like photons of light

Through the infinite dark, out of sight


It danced over the craters of the Moon

Like an Autumn’s leaf, in a lagoon


From one star to the other, it made its way

Hunting for the sweetest flower, just like a Jay


Over a meteor, it laced along

Following the trail of its Star’s song


Through millions of diamonds twinkling in the sky

It flew with the strength of a hopeful sigh


In a sudden brilliance it was gone

As briskly as it had arisen from the eyes looking on


“The night is wonderful” said the Star

As it caught the Wish from afar
