Epiphany at Midnight

Epiphany at Midnight

"Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight"
So begins wishful thinking in my heart
"I wish I may..." I wish with all my might!
I pour my longings into my art
Hoping someone will find my little prayer
Before I tear it and myself apart...
Before I find out there is no one there
(but the demons that threaten to take me)
Please hasten quickly to show me you care!
The blindness leaves me; finally I see
Poems don't matter in the scheme of things
and no one cares who I turn out to be...
So why not be myself? With faerie wings,
rainbow hair, a smile, and a soul that sings!
