Birthday Wishes

Candles on a cake,
flickering against the dark
and holding wishes.

You draw a deep breath,
then exhale like a dragon,
snuffing out the flames.

The wishes blossom,
unspoken so they might work
their special magic.

All it costs is time
and your continued silence
regarding your wish.

The birthday magic
runs strange and strong, deep and true.
Don't speak. Don't spoil it.
