The Wishing Star

Cold dark night, 
I look up with fright. 

I see you flash,
Tearing the sky with a gash. 

Faster than lighting, 
Your transformation was striking. 

Something I had never done,
Wishing for you to come.

I made nothing out of it,
A lost wish on a universal pit.

The moment I had you before me, 
It was then I knew you had to be. 

You are everything I asked for, 
I would say even a bit more. 

When you wish upon a star,
The universe knows who you are.
