Wishing on the Stars

I stand in the splendid darkness,

Head tilted back until vertigo threatens

My balance,

Counting the stars in an endless sky

Till I finally realize I can't

Count that high.

Standing in awe under heavens great canopy,

Gazing in wonder at pin points of light

That visit my eyes after eons of travel

Offering universal delight.

Stars give up wishes much like Aladdin's

Genie, grateful at last to be free.

I have but one wish to make of the heavens,

A wish that will bring your sweet love

Home to me.
