Notes About The Poem

- Bright Stars -

look up at the skies
                                  the diamonds on black velvet -
                                           enchanting beauty

                                           with a royal view
                                      universe sublime aspects -
                                       touched a twinkling star

                                          mixed in ecstasy
                                      if i could only catch one -
                                          in bed at midnight

                                           to ascend the sky
                                 moon guards the treasure as gold -
                                           prayer of twilight


                                     quiet dreams under the sky -
                                     that night a star fell nearby
