“Wishes at Sunset”

Blair leaned slightly against her window frame gazing at the stars

It was a summer night, the brightness ran into late hours

Today was different from others, the sun was yet setting

But the stars had gently pipped to watch the sunset too

Its sight was lovely, shades of yellow, orange and grey adorned the sky

A quarter of the sun laid cosily behind the mountains of clouds up high

Like a light bolt, it radiated its mesmerising beauty.

I wonder why the stars are out so early, Blair thought

To grace the endless beauty of the night, a shooting star she sighted

Quickly! Wish a wish, came the voice within her inner thoughts

Like the three whisperers wished in the wilderness

Her wishes she silently howled in excitement

As if to grant a well wished wish, the stars twinkled and blushed

A delightful dreams-come-true night she knew it would be

As heaven and earth set out on a mission to make it real

If you have a wish, do not fail to let heaven know.
