A jar of stars in a cupboard.
The jar had been in the cupboard
for so long she had forgotten it was there.
A smell of mustiness filled the air as
she began to unscrew the lid.
Now, as she stood with the jar
in her hand, she felt sad.
Her eyes filled up with tears as she
remembered that the stars were her wishes and dreams.
What point to make a wish upon a beautiful light
and then place it in the dark
So she opened the jar, took out
the stars, and placed them on her heart.
