Shooting starA Poem by Virginia
I looked up and saw a shooting star..
I closed my eyes..joined little hands to wish for a birthday gift.. I always went out to find it every other day.. Then said somebody, that it doesn't come always.. Next wish was from bed..to God to make me see a shooting star next night.. Days rolled into nights... I once stopped going out...to search for a shooting star.. Now when I walk down the memory lane..I want those days back... I could do nothing.. All I could do is..stand below the black sky..look above and wait for a shooting star... I need no birthday gift today.. All I need is a life.. A life I always dreamt.. A wooden house..and a farm.. Far away from the people around.. A life like I saw in books.. The books that had pictures that are still glued to my mind.. The fairy tales I could ever forget... All I could do is..stand below the black sky..look above and wait for a shooting star... © 2019 Virginia |
