Depth of a Wish

(Image of sun dogs off my balcony taken recently when the temperatures plummeted. I wished for an interesting, new photo and here it is.)

A wish

Is a tricky thing

A momentary thought

A sparkle of possibility

Harnessing the luck

Of a falling star

Or celebrating growth

From year to year

Or is it more than that

*

If one lingers too long

A wish turns into something else

A hope for the future

Or a dream to be fulfilled

*

Wishes are fickle

Manifesting whenever they choose

Some almost instantaneously

And others languish in the ether

Waiting for the time to be right

And others never have a chance

To grow their wings
