It's a birthday

[julchen11]

 
Wishing Star

Up in the sky, 
a star so bright, 
I shall make a wish
on this cold night. 

I wish upon thee
to laugh and joke
to live happily
until I'm an old bloke

How I long to live
such an long, dear life
free of all chaos
and free from strife

Oh Wishing Star
how bright above me
How big you are
such a sight to see!

Happy Birthday my dear friend elwenlj
May your days be full of sunshine and the nights full of magic and stars!

Lots of love and hugs, 
Julchen

Who wrote that, Julchen? It's charming. I mean that in a real way: it's a poem that charms the hearer/reader. It makes me think of my own wishing star. I haven't had one in ages. When I was a young kid and went by myself to the high street to see revival showings of "Pinocchio" (the Walt Disney one, quite good, actually), I was "charmed". Maybe even "enchanted". I loved the idea of there being a special star. I think there are "wishing stars" in many stories that have meant a lot to me. And the bottom line of all wishing is what your poem says:

I wish upon thee
to laugh and joke
to live happily
until I'm an old bloke

How I long to live
such an long, dear life
free of all chaos
and free from strife

I found a poem via internet few months ago, changed this and that until it spoke to me.
I'm glad you like it, my dear. Oh yes, it makes me think of my own wishing star, too. When I was a child I often had a night walk with my father through the woods. We always stopped and rested just watching the stars in silence. Until today I'm still overwhelmed by the beauty of a clear night with millions of stars, now and then you can see a wishing star - this is what I call magic. My friends are stars, my wishing stars as well. As you say - wishing stars are to feel in so many good stories because the words there are written with so much love and emotions. Sometimes it's a long story, sometimes it's only a single line which touches me.
and sometimes it's a little picture.. without lines... without a quote... just a picture.
Like your icon above. It's wonderful to sit here, just looking at this little icon and there it is again - the wishing star.
I'm glad you are here, sweetie. I saddled my pony for the night through your journal. You'll see me now and then.

Love and hugs,
Julchen

You saddled your pony for the journey through the posts? You must be anticipating a long time in the saddle! :) I hope there are plenty of stars to look at along the way, Julchen, at every stopping place.

Seriously, though, there is nothing more mesmerizing than the night sky, if one is far enough away from city lights to really see it. When I look at the sky at my sister's place (who lives far from a city of any size, in northern California), I feel as though I could fall into it. Or, conversely, the stars look so close they could be suspended from black chandeliers directly overhead.
