Author's Note: I diverged away from my usual style a bit, but I tried writing this story five other ways, and this is how it came out! XD I know it's a bit random, but please let me know what you think. Star stories are my favorites. :)
"New Year's Night"
By Asche Keegan
There’s in the night a lonely child
Staring at a midnight sky. And with
Hands outstretched he catches Jupiter.
He’s just a solitary soul making the light
Last forever in the palm of his hand,
But it shines through all the dreams he holds.
On a shooting star, he makes a wish,
For a friend to spend next New Year with.
He closes his eyes and breathes in deep,
Opens his hands, lets Jupiter escape.
When he looks up, there it shines again
Almost a star in the blackness of night
A lonely light in all that dark,
But a light nonetheless.
Because now he’s held a planet,
Next will come the moon
But not to use up all his wishes,
He will wait until the morrow’s eve.
