"Love is a star that comes unbidden."
Quote by_ Poet
The stars above are a blanket of diamonds in the night,
like candles flickering in the wind;
God's beautiful lanterne shining and winking,
like a thousand heavenly eyes watching me.
A celestial orchestra of movement and beauty above,
a harmonious melody soothing;
swaying and drifting, swirling, twinkling,
like a ballet to a tune only the stars can hear.
I wish I could reach out and touch the stars above me,
though I know in reality they are far away;
they seem so close in the night sky blinking,
oh, to cradle one like a precious gem from heaven.
I smell the thick, sweet smell of honeysuckles in the air,
and the smell of rain that is coming soon;
as a thousand shining eyes from above blink again,
the smells of the night wrap around me with warmth.
Are the stars heavenly guides in that speckled dome,
our loved ones gone but watching us;
I taste my tears as I whisper love you forever,
and those pinpricks of light nod back to me from above.
Pearls of beauty like scattered moondust in the night,
moving fluid and graceful like a willow swaying;
like kisses of love from heaven in the night,
I would like to set sail among those stars above.
