Stolen??Wish

Laid back in the lush green,
My back feeling the silk,
And eyes staring in the night sky,
Clouds were no where to be seen,
Stars shimmered dim and bright,
As I awaited for one to break and fall,
So that I could ask heavens for that elusive thing,
The darkness grew more so,
And umbra turned into a bejeweled spectacle,
My eyes began to droop and drop,
As I kept the expectant vigil,
I did not know when the drowse gripped me firm,
But my neighbor told me the next day,
That in the witness of a broken star last night,
She had asked for her dream.
