A Falling Star

A wish upon a night:

To laugh uncontrollably, 
Until the side of my ribs hurt.

To fly like a bird, 
And let the wind carry me forward.

To be in a different world,
Or at a different time,
Where fairies and angels 
Aren't afraid to show up.

To love so loud, 
That the earth would shake with every note.

To sleep,
And dream of sheep,
Who dream of their Shepard.

To be my own Shepard,
And to lead my own way
Among the herd. 

To be,
As the great William said.
Or not. 

To be some body.
To be some thing. 
To be nothing.
To be no thing.

A wish, a prayer, a sight,
Upon a wondrous night.
