Wishing On Stars

Some thoughts from late November 2020.

I have wished on stars all my life. I started as soon as mum taught me the little rhyme, 'star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight', when I was little. But some stars I wish upon, soon appear to be slowly tracking across the sky. And it turns out to be a satellite. I have wished on countless satellites instead of stars, which is why, I guess, my wishes don't come true and bad things happen. All because I wished on a hunk of steel, rather than a flaming ball.

The moon is glowing tonight, and the stars too, and I can see them from my small top window. The rays from the light of the moon, seem to be reaching in and touching me, and I reach my hand out to grab the glimmer of light, but I soon realise I'm clutching at air...

I love the sky and all it's infinite beauty and wisdom, it has a funny way of talking to me without making a noise. But it also has a funny way of making things in this world happen. Good and bad.
