Once upon a time,
A vast of labyrinth
In the sky.
I wished upon a star
So ephemeral,
But it was an epiphany
In my heart.
My pristine heart
Found ebullience,
Like a limerence,
In the oblivion
Of the dark...
Opalescence.
So again
And again
I wished on every twinkle,
On constellations,
And nebulae,
Orion and Equulei.
Oh! But Alas!
Each and everyone
Fell.
To grant my wishes,
My fervent prayers,
At night I spelled.
They left
The heavens.
Leaving my sky
Empty and barren.
As deep sense
Of sonder, in me deepens.
Where have all
The Stars gone?
I wonder
As I look up
And wished to see them
Again, one by one.
