Ron VanHooser Poet Rhyme

A Wish Upon a Star

Your words illumine flecks of gold 
like letters from an ancient rune,
not something grown, nor bought, nor sold, 
but magical, like stars and moon 

Watched carefully, with minds aware 
that we enjoy the self-same view 
of bursting star-winks, here and there:
"that's ME, My Love, and THERE—that's YOU!" 

I laud the sky and hope you hear 
from down the lane, though worlds apart, 
the thoughts I voice to hold you near,
if not in sight, within my heart. 

If this implored request is heard 
and heaven honors wishes sent, 
then every letter, every word 
and every rhyme or heartbeat spent, 

will raise your patient star to shine. 
Unrivaled beams in fullest glow, 
enchanting other lives like mine 
with such a spark that all will know. 

The warmth of you, a simple soul, 
immersed within complexity;
for those like you become the goal 
of love-lorn poets just like me.
