Shooting Stars
Awaiting moon in mystic twilight
Swarovski studded, dazzling night
Ambrosial jasmine’s enchanting spells
Dizzying heart, felt feathery light
Perched on earth facing the sky
Dreaming, dozing, awakening high
Sparkles and glitters, no ivory glow
My cosmic pearl, hmmm…still ‘no show’
Sifting greens and barren boughs
Not on silver loch or rippling billows
Not a cloud to offer a shroud
“Quit playing games”…I whispered aloud
Rustling leaves in murmuring breeze
Swiftly fostering a momentous freeze
Heavens alight with ‘Shooting Stars’
A twinkly note…”I am afar”
In it’s way, all turned alright
He sent sky-full of diamonds tonight
