well, she started, no stars on which to wish on tonight. she pulled her coat more firmly around her, the chill pre-winter air prickling her fingers. life has a funny way of smacking you when you’re already down doesn’t it.
just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they’re not there. sometimes we have to add a little oomph to our wishes. a little rocket fuel. things get in the way. life gets in the way. i replied to my cynical friend.
i stepped out from the eve of the house and looked at the grey clouds that covered the night sky. i wish… i wish for love. not only to be so, but to do so. i wish for dreams, not necessarily to come true but that i would dream freely. i wish to see her…it’s been over a year and my heart aches to hug her. i wish for the world to see the beauty and the art that exists everywhere.
