Notes About The Poem

When You Wish Upon A Star

(“Under A Swirling Sky”, 2013, original pen & ink and acrylic)

When You Wish Upon A Star

When you wish upon a star
All the other stars watch and listen.

And in the silence
As your mind moves
They turn to stare.

The dance then shifts and turns
Adjusting to the ripple
Your little effort brings.

And opening there,
In the space above,
The space 
Where wishes 
All come true,
The stars align 
And then shine
As they always do.
