The Monkey Says: Shooting Stars

I've never seen one of those.

I wouldn't imagine how thrilled I'd be if I had seen one pass me by. I'd be jumping and pointing perhaps doing both simultaneously as well as shouting to tell others and by the time I'm settled for a wish, it would've just passed .. me .. by.

Things happen that way don't they. They pass you by at the very moment you want them. So near yet so far, they call it. More often than not, you can feel it an inch away and if you had just stretched your hand a little further, grasping it would be easy and simple. Yet things don't come by so easily don't they. The more you chase it, the further it runs.

If I could ever settled my eyes on one, be focused and instead of reacting the way I would, wished for something .. would my dream then come true?
But then again, what on earth would I wish for?
How does one have the composure to select from a bunch of wishes they've had when a bloody shooting star is in front of you? The adrenaline rush would affect you somehow someway I believe.
Would I then wish for good grades, great family, a secured future, bottomless money or happiness? One would be incomplete without the other and this isn't even a case of greediness! Heck maybe I need a meteor shower.

I know, the complexity I wonder about from a simple shooting star simply is the very reason why I have not seen one. I wonder so much about what to do, planning in every way to make that moment perfect when actually what happens spontaneously is what makes it special.
The outrageous wishes one makes is what makes it a perfect moment.
However knowing me, I'd never be spontaneous with things that could bring me good. Prolly cause they don't come by often. So when they do, I hope I'd be prepared. With the right words stringed together and right wish to focus on.

The ironic thing is, my mind is completely blank on what to wish for. And to say I'd be prepared. Perhaps it isn't a pretty good time for a shooting star to come by now.

That is if. It really *does* grant your wish. Heh.
