Beautiful Mystery

How deep is a wish from a falling star? How soft the realm when two hearts give in? A flash of light in a dark reservoir When lovers find love in an Autumn wind The star has awakened their restless soul Like striking a match across darkened skies Sensual wish less emotion's control Beneath stars aloft come whispering sighs In the dreams of the night, a trail was seen To see a star flaming while souls embrace Autumn winds blew as a star intervene A gift, a wish, a vanquished star to trace Beauty and mystery, a star's last cries A beautiful mystery was her eyes 9/15/18 contest Beautiful Mystery
