When Twilight Falls

Twilight falls over the land
Shadows playing in the waning hours of the day
Too early to sleep
Too late to think
The perfect time to dream

A lone light appears in the sky
First star of the night
What to wish for?
What to hope for?
Wish for the impossible

I wish I could go above the earth
To see what the stars see
My sparkling reflection on the ocean waves
The birds below me building their nests
In the little green splotches
The leafy boughs of trees

And the tiny specks
That are people just like me
Gazing at the sky
Wishing on stars
Wishing on me
The first star they see
When twilight falls.
