Stars and Superstars

Once upon a dark night, there was seen a shinning and sparkling star in the distant sky.                                                                                                               She was clearly observed, but there was not a sound; and neither of us even said  "Hi".

And so star-struck and overwhelmed was I,  that her size I could not describe.                                                  As so many of them do, she was traveling very rapidly toward her demise.

Once upon a cold and early dawn, there could be seen the morning star.                                                          It was a quiet and pleasant view toward the end of the Vietnam war.

Many years ago, I caught myself staring at a Christian superstar.                                                                                It was not close enough to shake hands, but not at all very far.

Yet another morning, to my delight, I met upon a sports superstar.                                                              I simply said "Hi Charles",  and didn't have to wonder, "Who you are".

And also, over a sun-setting horizon, on a holiday, appeared an evening star. She soon smiled and made room for the moon, as we watched from our car.
