Wish Upon a Star
Dangerously waking too close to the edge now -
glad I didn’t fall.
Hope my silence doesn’t wake you,
as I readjust my wall.
*
The dreams were all consuming,
but the nightmares left a mess.
If my sleep-talk doesn’t frighten you -
in the dark, I will confess.
*
Tonight, might be the death of me,
or maybe I can soar,
if you’ll catch me from my swan dive
like you did before.
*
Maybe tonight once more I’ll fly ,
through the beautiful light of a star-lit sky.
Thank you for reading! Make a wish …

Day #12:Writing Challenge
CHALLENGE #1: OBJECT WRITING Day 12/14 “WHERE” Writing 5 minutes – “A Cliff by the Ocean” I stood on the cliff, my long hair whipping my face in the strong wind. The waves crashed the rocks below and the side of the steep embankment in the humid air. This was a stormy Lake Superior calling to me in its powerful turbulence in a storm, reminiscent of the ocean. Was I lost at sea?
