Why wish?
Do you remember the last time you made a wish upon the evening star?
Star light, Star bright, first star I see tonight.
Did you lose faith because wishes were granted in reverse
Or disguised behind a cloudy, lidded moon?
Wish I may
Did you wish for something better? For someone lost? For your own weary heart to mend?
Wish i might
Without fail, I wished for you. Certain the stars would light the way
Have the wish I wish tonight
Maybe it’s time to start again

love how the image in “disguised behind a cloudy, lidded moon” stands in for losing faith
I love this poem! The ending is perfect.
