In the deep stark silence it came and then it went,
A flicker of light like a dream come and gone.
Waiting for a wish to be cast from a mind,
Waste not a word that you may wish undone.
Each glistening star that still hangs in the sky,
A distant reminder a lasting regret.
Or just other wishes that wait to become,
Holding on tight not to let go just yet.
Faint colours I see like a rainbow afar,
Like an ocean of wonder with sparkling fish.
Closing my eyes I see many things,
I wonder in silence before I cast my wish.
Do the thoughts of the child pale and finally fade,
Is it so wrong to wonder just how things may be.
My wish is now cast deep into the night,
Will it come true with time I will see.
