Make a wish

make a wish for the season
for the month
or for the year

and keep it to yourself
not for anyone to hear

on a eyelash
or a flower
or a penny in the well

on a star
in a prayer
or simply to yourself

now hold it like you breath
while at the bottom of the sea

now float back to the surface
back to reality.

back to you and me
back to when we were
good

and happy
and laughing
and misunderstood

step away from the darkness
you hold deep inside
step away from the sadness
thats expelled through your eyes.
