the sky full of wishes

I wish I were the sun.

Bright and happy.

Beams of light.

The thing people look forward to seeing.

 

I wish I were the moon.

Dark and mysterious.

Shapeshifting silver disc.

The thing people stay up late to see.

 

I wish I were the stars.

Sparkling and magical.

Thousands of possibilities.

The things people wish upon.

  • Case file

    I love it when you call me

     by my name.

    When you label me.

     

    Like a doll sitting in 

    the display. 

    Read out my description.

     

    Learn my characteristics.

  • Slack line

    I walk a fine line.

    Life and death.

    Funny and weird.

    Smart and dumb. 

    Waiting for a light breeze to blow me one way.

    Will I stay on this line forever?

    When will I get off?
