Purple orange light painting fiery pregnant horizon
Blood-moon slides behind the red yellow sun
Enchanting sky births eclipse a black monsoon.

rock concert mania
star studded eyes
above the trees
and distant black mountains
each night
the all of creation
starburst!
Dave Austin
This dreamlike creature beside me in bed
With long golden tresses and lips of red
Eyes like blue sapphires and skin like satin
All packaged up in a womanly wrapping
She raises her body as we both breathe as one
She caresses my face, the passion's begun
There's no turning back on this magical ride
We ascend ever skyward, we're burning inside
We explode with emotion enveloped in love
As we ride on a zephyr to the heaven's above
A crescendo, then a starburst, we rest on a cloud
Proclaiming devotion as we sing it out loud

And then I saw it
From the forest canopy
A starburst of sun
when will people of the world get it right
no more war's , no more fights
one family , one planet
mother earth feels all this negativity
and doesn’t understand it
we are all native to the earth
we are all family from our time of birth
shouldn’t life have more value and worth
the time has come to re-direct our search
we won't find what we're looking for creating enemies
solutions are what we need with peaceful possibilities
all life in the universe depend on us now
we have to make it happen some way, some how
we can make it ,if we try
you can make it ,if you try
just try a little harder, dig a little deeper
inside yourself, you’ve got to know who you are
everybody is a star, everybody is a star
attitude, gratitude, fortitude,to your magnitude
how bright does that light shine in you
everybody is a star, you just got to know who you are.
