Wishes are like bubbles on street
Rise up high
but break on a single touch of mine
wishes are like helium filled balloon
I strongly hold
but a sudden gush of wind
blows it over side
holding courage inside
I wish upon
wish upon a fallen eyelash
wish upon a flying aircraft to deliver my message to Almighty
wish upon a shooting star
wish upon a birthday candle
wish upon an auspicious sign
wish upon a coin
wish beside the wishing well
wish upon the knots of thread
wish upon the locks on sacred places
wish upon stones
wish in a church
wish over a full moon
sometimes wish upon scared thread
for years
to meet my dreams
I wish upon numerous things
years pass by
my wishes don’t come alive
suddenly my adult self
laughs over the child inside
don’t wish upon
start working hard from tonight
I stop wishing on anything beside
I start to work again
alas my wishes still drift away
like fluffy clouds in air
the child inside shakes hand with the adult outside
now I decide
to work hard
now I decide to wish upon
all things again
lest live it all
for God to decide
To grant my wishes overnight

what a marvellously optimistic and uplifting poem you have crafted here spilleronsheet .. and although we may follow different spiritual paths, I aint gonna argue with the message you have so meticulously placed upon this page .. I wish both you and your pen, the very best of all good things ...... Neville
It’s not about the things that we wish upon
It’s nit about ritual
It’s about the faith that you carry
Anything can be or can’t be
Just believe in yourself
Thank you so much dear reader
Wonderful !!
And I WISH UPON, you keep writing and keep sharing ... - Vamsi
Thank you so much dear Vamsi
I shall surely write and await your creations too
Good write S.
even devoid of theological alignment;
this is a brilliantly life-affirming write, thank you
for choosing to share, dear poet
I know they don’t confirm to the faiths
But those were things I wished upon
I still wish upon
Since childhood
Those seem childish, but to children it becomes ritual
Thank you so much reader for your kind words.
I love the repetition in this piece. Keep posting!!
Thank you so much dear reader. I will certainly try to write better and post it later.
yeaaaaaa
No wishes and dreams, no life.
Some wishes may come true years later when the relevance is truly your time.
