Quote
A wish is many things. It is hope and desire and daydreams. It is impossibility and improbability and something in between. It is stardust and well water and spectrums of light in the sky. It is half-melted birthday candles and Christmas lists. It is broken turkey bones, It is the willing suspension of disbelief. And sometimes it is desperation. It is a hole in your heart that wants filling. It is more-than-anything-in-the-world.

Quote
Remember that time you made the wish? I make a lot of wishes.The time I lied to youabout the butterfly. I always wonderedwhat you wished for. What do you think I wished for?I don't know. That I'd come back,that we'd somehow be together in the end. I wished for what I always wish for. I wished for another poem.

wishes are made in moments of wonder and desperation. Wishes are prayers without a salutation and minus an amen.

Quote
A wish is many things. It is apprehension and anticipation. It is lucky coins and dandelion fluff and rainbows stretching to forever. It is loves-me after love-me-nots and a pile of plucked flower petals at your feet. It's purple bikes and getting picked first and a passing grade in math. It's the marvelous and the miraculous. It's hunger and heartache. A wish is something extraordinary that you never hoped to have.Or something very ordinary that most people take for granted.

Quote
I saw a star slide down the sky,Blinding the north as it went by,Too burning and too quick to hold,Too lovely to be bought or sold,Good only to make wishes onAnd then forever to be gone.
