Shooting Star

Still night
Moon glowing bright and full.
Streak of iridescence.
Fervent wish to the gods.
Little did I know
she was wishing on the same star
for the same thing.
You.



 It matters not how strait the gate;
How charged with punishments the scroll;
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
--W.E. Henley

Hey, Tara, this is definitely the way to get a good message in a few words. Others CAN be wishing for the same thing we are. Someone gets disappointed.

Tara:

You seem to be on your way to having all your wishes come true. My wish is that they do come true for you.


 Courage is the price that life exacts
for granting peace with yourself.
--Amelia Earhart

Well put...and sadly true.  It is so difficult when you're falling in love.
All the best to you.

Thanks for reading!  But I think I'm on a roll, so MY wish is going to come true!

I wish for your wish to come true and if it doesn't that there will be another wish that will.
