A shooting star zips far above my head
Its radiant light only ignites for a mere second
Fizzling out as if it never existed
The whitish streak that followed the falling material has long since faded
I watch with keen eyes
Protecting the sincere wish I couldn't let out quick enough
My mouth quivers as my brain processes its failure to allow for the simple words to exit my mouth in a timely fashion
A brief irritation turns in to a sudden sadness
One simple wish is all I wanted to speak
Was it too much of a chore to allow for me to spout what my heart weeps
One second is all I ever needed
But when the time came it went by feeling like a millisecond
I clench my fist and turn my gaze to the cold grass
The area drenched in darkeness as the moon decided to abandon its purpose
Minutes pass as the harboring of my failure begins to subside
Wasting my time in self-pity will not enable my innermost wish to be heard
So I turn my head up high in earnest
Yearning and praying for the impossible to happen
A star to streak across the wide expanse in the same place
Hoping the night sky provides me another crashing star
I stare in to the constantly changing cosmos
My eyes begin to become hot and my body unstable
I can't control these overwhelming emotions
A quick blip in the night sky cast an awe-inspiring light
Leaving behind a magnificent white essence
I'm finally able to leave knowing my wish has been heard
