A STAR IS BORN

Oh it was a beautiful day 
the gods in heaven smiled 
They told the world to hush his sounds 
and everyone wondered why 
But the wind died down 
to a gentle breeze 
The sun dimmed low 
his heat 
The flowers nodded in delight 
The gulls forgot 
to shriek 
The moon shone bright 
its mellifluous light 
The sky of the night 
sang tunes 
That vibrated deep 
in the throats of the sea 
And flowing rivers 
swooned 

Time had never 
in its relentless march 
Seen such a blissful morn 
And he stopped 
for a tiny moment 
to watch 
A wonderful star being born 

Today 
I look up into the sky 
and see 
the brilliant light 
I hear the angels 
sing his glory 
The night shivers 
in cosmic delight 
For the king 
he strums his victory march 
on guitars 
of shimmering dew 
Strings of destiny 
reverberate 
with treasures 
for his heart anew 

I smile 
and dance 
on tangled moonbeams 
In the glow 
of his gentle strength 
So proud 
to feast my eyes 
on this glorious quest 
of the dazzling superstar

who calls me a friend.
