wishing

Underneath the moonlit sky
Shrouded by the dark cloak of eve
a lover gazed upon a falling star
seeking hope
wishing
for a love to forever hold.
With that, he casts his message
to the heavens above
to heed his call.
And the star, as it was trailing pass
seemed filled with vigor,
ablaze with the lover's dream
and thought to grant his plea.
But slowly, the gleaming entity
dimmed, as time trickled by
until its mystic brightness
faded...
and soon withered away
in the vastness of the cold, silent eternity.
And with its demise
a willful dream
was lost.
