Startling Truth

Each beautiful wish
becomes a star
and it shines over us at night
thousands of beautiful wishes
waiting to be fulfilled

And god has taken the stars
put them into groups
making up the constellations
one greater picture of all the wishes in it

when you look hard enough
you will find me there

Each constellation
looked at
simultaneously gives you a picture
we have yet to complete that mural in the sky
however
I am sure
that eventually as the wishes are granted
the stars will fade
while many others are born

we will find 22 or more pictures in the sky
put them in cards again and hopefully
when the known constellations are forgotten
they will look to the stars again
