Candles

Pennies

Eyelashes

Wishbones

Shooting stars

Dandelion puffs

I wish whenever I can

hoping one day they might come true.

The magic doesn’t end when you

are no longer a child.

Small rituals to manifest

the life I want.

Telling my desires

to everyday things.

Enchanted dreams

seemingly out of reach.

Charms and spells

yearning for the unattainable.

Plans and goals

needing a little extra help.

Mystical thoughts

brought into a secular world.

The Goddesses

listening to my wants.

Feeling despair

and defeat in everyday life.

Visualizing more

to give my life purpose.

I keep believing.

I keep hoping.

I keep wishing.
