Wedding At Dawn

Into the new year, 
Early hours as the day dawns; 
As the morning star rises, my heart thrills 
	At the dense starry sky.


Trillion eyes wink,
Beck to spring, to leap like an eagle;  
To scale the void, glide and sparkle
	In the galactic halo. 

Cheers! Cheers!  
A million voices! Lifting croon—
Shepherd's call to mountain of roses,   	
	To dewed green pastures. 

A look around; 
The sun rays upon the earth to rouse   
Wilting weeds spelled by a drought 
	As in the days of Noah! 

Down the drive, 
A horse, decked in purple is led in bridal trot, 
Ahead of two virgins in pink,  	
	A pair of rings in a bouquet.

Up the sky, 
Eyes wink, voices croon; the day  
Draws near. The great dawn! 
	The blast in the blue!
