Wishing

I saw a star Falling Like an old Hollywood actress A neon sign With just one letter showing A burned out light At my feet I took a wish I wished I wished on that jewel From the sky I wished on the moon Haunting the trees A target too big for the sky I wanted it so bad I was wishing on a prayer But it kept right on dodging A riderless horse From the left to the right Straight to the eye Yet changing direction There within reach
