The Lure of Venus

A striking splash of iridescent light The inspiring moon the splendour of night, So many minds that scan you from afar Making wishes beneath your shooting star, My telescope focused I see your face Oh! Alluring Venus the lure of space. © Harry J Horsman 2012

Each line carries its own magic Harry and when you put them together you give me an astral vision that holds its own enchantment. That first line is so special. Love, Elizabeth
