Have you ever seen a meteor shower?

I have.

It was beautiful, breathtaking. The stars shining through the darkness, falling in the air. Hundreds of them, like light streaming through holes on the floors of heaven.

“Better despair than false hope”.

They say to wish upon a falling star, but what do you wish for when what keeps you from making a wish is the knowing that it might just be that, a wish… that may never come true?

Dawn gave way to dusk. There were still stars in the sky.

Star light, star bright, would you rather burn out or would you rather fade away? Who’s going to catch you when you fall? What’s so great about you?

You’re just fallen embers.

I made a wish.

I wished someone would catch the falling stars.
