Love's Star
The velvet sky leaned down
brushing the earth tenderly;
shyly, the little stars looked on in awe,
anticipation shining.
The atmosphere held its breath;
all around the universe quivered,
waiting . . .
waiting for love's recognition,
for you to reach out and touch my face
realizing we were partners
in the timeless dance of life.
i saw the morning star rise in your eyes
and, suddenly, it was dawn
in the middle of the night.
