When You Wish (Free verse) by Enkidu

I watched a star It wasn’t really shooting More sinking, drooping Sucking the light From the sky it passed As it broke the horizon Dropping fast I wished upon the star To wonder Like a child Bright and younger And to my satisfaction Found the other Stars to follow that falling, shooting star That keeps my mind Doubting, hollow

Catchy, although the flow could be worked on in a few places - for example the first line's pretty abrupt. Maybe make it: 'I watched a star that/wasn't really shooting...' Nice rhymes though and the end has a decent ambiguity to it; the contrast between not believing something and still having that glimmer of hope that the mysteries you believed in as a child might just be true. Or something like that.
