Notes About The Poem

Precious

*Look at the stars, look at how they
       shine for you and everything you do ...

You're a jewel, bereft compare
       Hewn of star stuff, rich and rare

Uniquely shaped to beautify
       Adorning, bright, a yawning sky

Seeded concept - bosom's bloom
       Sparked to essence in life's womb

Perfecting flaws as humans do
       Yet no one else, the perfect You

So tremble not with mortal awe
       If fed resplendent, virtue's maw

Meant to hasten priceless wings
       Borne through time's meanderings

Yearn to pierce the great expanse
       And twirl to dust, your final dance

That latent shore of Heaven's sand
       This precious life is yours, in hand ...

This precious life ... is YOURS.





* From the song "Yellow" by Coldplay
