Wishing Star

by Melissa Arel


'Lightly stepped a yellow star
To its lofty place,
Loosed the Moon her silver hat
From her lustral face.
All of evening softly lit
As an astral hall -
"Father," I observed to Heaven,
"You are punctual."'

- Emily Dickinson




Dear wishing star with beauty so rare
I hope that my wishes can fly up there
And meet you one-on-one
And float by the hiding sun
To jump from cloud to cloud
And dance with lightning so loud
To skip across the Milkyway
To rest upon the moon and stay
Forever in happiness and eternal love
To glide by night and swing high above
The earth so green and watery blue
And soar with wings likes eagles to you
And for you to catch my wish tonite
As I bid you a farewell
And a peaceful goodnight
And hold my wish 'til it comes true
And thats when my wishing star
I'll hold tight to you
