A Star's Heartbeat

Somewhere in the vast array 
of heaven's wonders on display
so high above my head I see
one star seems shining just for me.

So drawn am I to this bright star
that glitters beauty from afar
I cannot turn away from it.
White fire the Goddess Night has lit!

It burns into my soul, and I
am drifting up into the sky.
I melt into its lustrous heat
and lo! I hear a star's heartbeat!

Lovely poem, Andrea. I have a sneaky feeling you look into the night sky quite often. Your sky writings have the resounding ring of a well-loved friend. "White fire the Goddess Night has lit!" Congrats on your win ~ John
