Way up in the darkest sky
Shines a star, a reflective light
Glowing a promise, reflecting
Insight into the moment
When the sequent moon ignites
Joy on the inside, where their abides
Heartfelt inspiration, wonder
Alive in the imagination…

Revert to crazy-paved slabs of lead 
  When a Midas touch track runs cold. 
The lure remains so defiant in...

Seeing the fiery flashes immersed within an opal
Surrounded by the brilliance of red rubies in a circle.
A tiffany cut emerald glowing a luminescent green,
Inlayed in shining platinum, and worn by a Queen.

Misty moon glow makes mystic scene;
Observe the air of luna light;
One dreamy show outlines pristine;
Nimbus of flair now speaks to sight;
Glimpse of a time gifted to sense;
Aligns the heart asking for proof;

Lay down your tired bones
Down in your hospital bed
Those spots on both your arms
Are glowing a bright red

Stare up at the TV

Twenty hundred thousand
Have the same thing as you
