The Wish

for the Honeybee

Once upon a time there was a wish

it fluttered through the air

dancing, shining through the sky

leaving snatching hands with only sky

they could not catch the wish

it kept searching through the air

seeking through the cold-touched air

and tumbling through the sky

for the One who would make the wish

at last the wish descended from the lonely air

and met a child’s sky-turned eyes
