paper stars

Hoshi, you make all these origami stars so that the lights in the night skies can shine again?

paper stars


once upon some
paper stars

we made a
promise

but the night
pitch black

came between

us.

Sad when something prevents a promise from being kept! Very evocative writing.

I wonder how many paper stars - I once read the number of paper stars has something to do with love or luck or maybe both.

Sherry,

thanks. yes, it's about a loss.


Mary,

thank you. :)


ZQ,

easy there! :)


Truedessa,

yes, it can be for both, and the number can have some significance. e.g. 129 - 'forever love', 365 - a year of blessings.

Wishes upon paper stars. Just wonderful! I love the simplicity, no, the delicacy of this.
