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

above the trees
               and distant black mountains
                            each night
                      the all of creation
                             starburst!

Premium Member A Crescendo, Then a Starburst

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

Starburst

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.
