An Early Morning Feast

A shining bright star
shines down from afar
In this morning’s sky 
just before dawn

As it gleams in the East
like an early morning feast
Such a way to start a day
as it takes my breath away

I saw it from my balcony
a sparkling, twinkling sight to see
Then went inside to google it
this light that shone upon me 

Venus is the star 
in the sky that I saw 
Engulfing me with wonderment 
and filling me with awe

With the full moon coming soon
and the exquisite sun arising 
My spirit is on such a high
I feel I’m floating in the sky


18th November 2018 – after witnessing the beauty of Venus today…
