Wish upon

spilleronsheet

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

      • L. B. Mek

        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.

              No wishes and dreams, no life.
              Some wishes may come true years later when the relevance is truly your time.
