[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => As I look up gazing at the night sky,
I see the stars twinkling up high, Oh boy! there a star has died, and its left me gazing wide-eyed.. I know its time to make a wish- time to ask for something that I'll cherish... Now do I ask for my favourite dish- delicious fare which I relish? Or do I ask for beauty and fame- cause these things seem to attract every dame. No I think I'll wish for a new dress..... and a tiara for my curly tress. But what about the diamond I've always wanted- certainly something that could be flaunted! Or how about the velvet shoes- something no maiden would refuse... Oh how I continue to think and think- I'm so excited I forget to blink! Suddenly I glance upon the street- a group of urchins with barren feet- their clothes torn to a shred.... O here they come begging for bread... Their sorrowful eyes are full of pain, I look at them filled with disdain...... this sight just tears me apart- it leaves a pain inside my heart. Oh how I wish I could change the situation... I wish for the same without hesitation. I see them leave and hope for the best... I hope that my wish is the end of their test, their trials, their sorrow, their pain and grief... I hope its been replaced by childlike mischief... I feel happy like never before- I feel I've got happiness galore.... I realise that a good deed performed can even warm a heart that's deformed. I have a feeling my wish has come true... I suddenly stop feeling so blue. The diamond, the dish and all those things, cannot compensate the joy my wish brings. I realise I've broken through my cage- through all the material things that cause an outrage... I'm on the path of rectitude-I've gotten out of my shell... my world has suddenly become bigger and swell. My heart feels light and I want to sing- I want to thank heaven for everything... I look up to the sky and what do I see: there's another dying star waiting for me!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
