A Fisherman's Wish

By Cinara

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A FISHERMAN'S WISH On a clear and silvery night like this The sky is filled with a fisherman's wish A million fish in the heav’ns afar A million hugs and a million stars Sail up to the black of the nighttime sea And caste your fisherman's net for me So bright are the sparkling stars at night So beautiful the twinkling heavenly light Your blanket is a woven mesh of gold A bounty of fish your net will hold It's very easy to grab a star That swims in the calm where the sea fish are Sail up through the night with the silver fish Each fish is a star-lit mother's kiss And count each star with your eyes of blue Tell me how many kisses are there for you A little one never could count that high So vast is the love in the evening sky Look up to the stars on a night like this The sky is filled with a fisherman's wish May you always know there's a net to pull For your whole life through, there's a heart that's full It’s a mother’s love you will never forget Good night, sweet one, with a golden net Written February 27th, 2002 © on Feb 26 2002 09:20 PM PST   0 • 8
