Wish upon a Star...

 


Oh stars, my star,
take me from this web of deceit
from this endless life
of delusion and strife,
to the world of perpetual light.
Remove this constant ache from my heart
and the encroaching darkness in my soul.
Without your light all will be dark and
my soul will wander this wasteland
we call humanity. Take me from
a world where misery is
passed between people
like a gift at Christmas and empathy
is discouraged from on high.
I want to live in brightness where
darkness is just a bridge between points of light,
where angels fly and dreams come true
and smiles are reflected in the rays of sun.
Don’t forsake me to a life with only
flashes of light in an otherwise dark world.
