A Star Is Born

Out CAME DUSK dark and new
The MOON had risen and took its simple form.
Round and round was BEAU.

Every HEAVENLY BODY I saw began to act on a silky screen.
At TWILIGHT HOUR came the THEME THE birth of a new star.
It took its  PLACE among the MILKY WAY FAMILY.

EVERYTHING I had seen was of beauty, as it were a dream.
Every heavenly body  within the  milky way surrounded ME.
This is what I AM.  Here is where I belong.

Now I HEAR the twinkle of a HARMONIOUS song.
The song is my own.
HERE IS WHERE I BELONG.
I AM THE STAR THAT WAS BORN.

Hello Val, A really nice write here on "A Star is Born." These cosmological themes are always treat to ponder and write about. I guess the upshot is that in the end we are all "Cosmic Dust." (I just happened to write a poem last year by that theme name.) I enjoyed your poem here very much. And -- A "7" it is. Best Always, Gary
