Notes About The Poem

Wish On a Star

Last night, 
As I stared up at the sky,
Stars glistening, stirring hope within,
Breaking through the silence, 
Erasing all the doubt, the shadows
Waning as the little lights
Twinkled, fading in and out –
Freeing my dreams, my feelings
Emotions breathing creativity

Last night,
The glimmer of starlight above me,
Wishes started to caress my smile,
Yearnings – deep and alive inside,
Where the fantasy, the desire…
Burned like a blazing fire, 
Illuminating my heart, my soul
With dreams so alive they blistered
My feelings with vision, pulsating
Faith, freedom – fulfillment

Last night,
I stared up at the sky,
Wishing on a star as it sparkled,
Glowing across the night,
Heavy with beauty and soothing
Away every fear, comforting 
As it shone, brighter than the moon,
Trembling with joy – inviting
My heart to believe in the dream,
To wish – like a child who is
Caught up with certainty, so willing
To remember that the stars, themselves
Are His miracles, His gifts…

Last night, 
I wished on a star and now…
The beauty of that moment reminds
Me that the truth is far more
Beautiful than any fantasy, any dream

The truth is that my wish came true
The moment that I gave my heart to you
