i will wipe clean the night sky
for you; only the moon and
planets will be left so you won’t
worry about the stars burning out
ii.
i will write all your wishes on slips
of paper and fold them into stars
there will be billions of tiny wish-stars
and i will not sleep for days on end
iii.
when the world is asleep i will climb
to the sky and hang them in place
they will spring to life with butterfly
kisses and the night will shiver in content
iv.
when you cannot find beauty in the world
you will look to the sky and find the smile
that was woven into the constellation because
everyone loves the way your wishes shine
v.
maybe one night you will notice that a single
star has vanished; you will find in your hand
a wish of mine that i tricked into the heavens
"i wish you will see through glasses half-full"

Sight Less
Beneath all the beds in New York you'll find the musicians' dungeon. People constructed of more soul than they can hold sell bits of themselves for quarters and dimes. These claim no home other than the section of ground they occupy. Few passerbys take notice, as is the way with common rushers.

I don't usually read poems here, let alone comment them! Your piece really strikes a chord with me as I have another for whom I wish the world (moon and stars) for and pray that she keeps hope and remains optimistic.
Thank you very very much for this! It really makes me smile and I will refer back to it whenever I feel down.
I can't wait to check out your other works!
