Star Wish

Two stars
Sparkling lights
Could shine so much brighter
If only they were
One
But for now they are
Connected
Only by the space
In between them
The sky like an embrace
Bringing them together
Closer
Than either dares to shine
And I pray and I wish
Upon a star
That you’d be mine
Though I could not own you
(I could sooner own a star,
Paper doesn’t make ownership)
But I would be happy
To hold you
And never let you go
Hoping you’d shine all the brighter.

The moon doesn't sleep today
