Shimmer

Stars.

Do you ever wish upon them?

Like a child filled with hope and optimism?

Look up,

take deep breath,

then

exhale...

"Starlight

Star bright

First star I see tonight".

But...

I don't see any tonight.

I'm looking.

F^<k I am looking.

But they are not there.

At least not up close.

I mean I see a little glimmer

off in the distance,

a slight twinkle.

But I need more than that.

Don't We all.
