Upon the glimmer of eve's first sighted twinkling star
Wishes for treasure, including fireflies for the jar
Asked wonders, and trinkets, which awe with delighted swoon
Sincere whispers whisk past the face of a smiling moon

Viewed sparkling bright tinsel, and makeshift lanterns that glow
Beckon eyes to surrender with radiant troves show
In sweetened slumber gatherings of wished treasures stream
With sprinkled dust from sandman's hand comes a time to dream

Aloft on fragile wings through fluorescent rainbow skies
Realm of the journey lies in a conjured mystic guise
Sought tinseled fields are bundled inside the swaddling shawl
Makeshift lanterns bright amber magic surrounding all

Across the yard swooping on wings made of finest gold
Fragile dreams were placed within a jars forgotten hold
Asked wonders, and trinkets, which awed with delighted swoon
Over the years whisked past the face of a smiling moon
