I still wish on the first star I see each night. It's not that I believe but that the wish is a mantra to remind me of what is important.
I need a star in this dark sky One bright star on which I may wish I need a wish a heartfelt mantra To believe in granting me hope I need a hope a bright ray Shining and reflecting like Winter moon I need a moon and spangled star Piercing the sky dark of my diminished soul I need a soul made intact again By wishes and hopes Granted by a star.

Being of advanced years myself, your poems filled with longing resonate with me. Reading this one I had a strong image of crocheting -- of reaching to pick up a thread and pulling it through to make a stitch, reaching for the next and pulling to make another, and on and on until a pattern is created. You do have a way with words and a knack for creating a beautiful structure.
