Wish Upon the Stars

Wish Upon the Stars

Eyes scan sky of star and moons

Each flame ringed in haze

My thoughts are of other times

Those better days

One feels so insignificant

Standing, staring here

Look at lights shone long ago

Traveling millions of years

Reflecting on the time we’ve spent

Both good and wasted days

But know now that we’re a part of this

Despite our unnatural ways

Sure, staring up into the source

The universe is ours

It belongs to us we belong to it

The rocks, trees and flowers

Oceans are our heartbeat

The rivers are our veins

And never could we have known love and joy

Without the cruel contrast of pain

But the scorch of pain blinds our view

Obscures what we know

Digging deep for joy and love

Is the only way we grow

Blinded by the burning sun

Contrast, soft full moon glow

Digging deep for faith and hope

Is the only way we grow

Eyes scan sky of star and moons

Each flame ringed in haze

My thoughts are of other times

Those better days

I know that forever only holds

One thing and that is change

Haze gives way to heavier clouds

Down comes the rain

Holy water wash my soul

Sweep away my sins

Immerse me in your nature now

Needing soil on my skin

But don’t bury my like Ozymandias

Each moment, a new begin

The sun will shine on closed doors

Until we allow it to open and flood in.
