behold the heavens sprinkled with stars,
& be in awe of their delicate charm;
their fragile state of brilliance,
and their dazzling luminance.
For billions of years, their beams have raced,
flashing toward our Milkyway…
And, now..
as each enchanting sparkle, greets our gazing eyes,
2 galaxies, 2 wishes, the past, and the present all collide…
~ beyond time, beyond space;
since long before existence of our human race
streaking through the arcane void, and past the black.
even the all-consuming shadow, this glimmer has passed.
just for one precious glimpse into our world below-
these ambitious star-beams voyage, staying aglow.
Their mission is accomplished, & each shimmer satisfied;
to merely watch us live; so very alive.
Each little glitter’s most meek & longed for desire;
is to be the twinkle, wished on by a child.
Oh what honor, it beams with proud delight,
when a child wishes on its flickering light
I behold the stars,
are they what claim they are?
Basking in awe of the endless heavens,
adorned with glistening gleams.
On that glowing star’s gallivanting rays,
I cast one wish, my hope, my dream.
Many more star-beams have yet to breach our skies.
Both galaxies, both wishes, both past & present, too;
will be united the moment its light shimmers into our eyes.
It’s a clear breezy night; & behold!..the stars shimmer for you.
