Starshine

Bathed in your soft starlight warm
Dissolving troubles the tension shorn

Instill my mind with lucid dreams
Elevate my soul on silvered beams

Removing discord from atop my shoulders
In temperate love as night grows colder

On wind burned face your thoughts caress
Removing deep imbued duress

Steeping away the anguishing past
A bonding anew in the fire is cast

A gift living essence before you I raise
This beauty adorning in heavenly praise

Qualms are sluiced on showers illume
Dispirited man in your hands impugn

Transfusion of hope from skyline of night
Cleansed and reborn in your basin of light

Angst of the morrow dissolves in your song
Instilled of your spirit to rise a new dawn.
