She looks out of her window

Seeing nothing but big, black sky

Dejected, turns away

When a flash of light catches her eye

 

Scurrying back, the shooting star shimmers in her gaze

Its edges filled with the promises of hope and light

And that beautiful promise pierces the haze

Of everyday, normal life

 

Reach out, it whispered

Dare to be brave

And though the sky was so withered

She felt perfectly safe

 

Taking a risk, she stretched out her arm

The outside cold and unforgiving, harsh winds from afar

But when the star landed in her hand, glowing and warm

She didn’t think about that anymore

 

Standing up to a height too high

She sucked in a breath and decided to be free

From that old, withered night sky

The only thing she’s ever seen

Leaning out the window to find

It wasn’t as bad as before

So, she finally made up her mind

What to do with the thing she adorers

 

Goodbye shooting star, she said,

But this is not the end

For I will follow through

Hopefully you will too

 

Sleepily, she returned to her bed

And realized the star was something it didn’t seem

Because without even noticing

That star was her dream
