Rercy Zola-Zaba Poet Dizain

Wish Upon a Lantern

Embellish me with your favorite decor
                      Light me up and set me free to the night sky
                             I will light up your darkest nights
                       I will be the sacrifice you offer the heavens
                               With me I will carry your hopes
                                        Your dreams 
                                     And your wishes
                           And whisper them to the heavens
                                    For I am your lantern
                     The wish that fulfills your heart's desires

John Watt April 21, 2020 at 1:59 PM Rercy, I love your use of light and dark in this one. "Whisper them to the heavens" is a powerful statement, as are the words "embellish" and "sacrifice". Well done, enjoyed this very much! Rercy Zola-Zaba July 23, 2020 at 2:41 AM I am honoured, thank you John!
