Yesterday's Wishes

Yesterday's wishes, whispered in the night, Like fading stars, now lost to morning's light. Each dream a seed, with hope so brightly sown, Now withered leaves, upon the earth unknown. A whispered prayer, for love that would ignite, A longing gaze, toward a future bright. A yearning heart, that wished to soar and fly, But found its wings clipped, by a tearful cry. A whispered promise, made in youthful bliss, Now broken vows, that time could not dismiss. The past unfolds, a tapestry of rue, Where yesterday's desires, forever accrue. Yet in the heart, a fragile hope remains, For new beginnings, and for gentler rains.
