Starlight

Long before time began

I reside outside your window

and sparkle, all night long

I shine so bright throughout the night

heavens above is where I belong.

I sigh and stretch my open arms

and push a passing cloud that hides

the open doors to the pores

where my light resides.

The glittering diamonds in my realm

shine bright in frosty skies

far from the city lights

closer to hearts desires.

They are the lights in my cosmos

moulded long before time began

crafted by magic unseen hands

before mere thoughts of men.

The spectacle my stars perform

supersedes mysteries of infinity

and speaks a language holier

than scriptures and divinity.

My light illuminates the darkest night

I form rings around the moon

I drip into your open mind

and cause lovers to swoon.

I reside above your roof

walk outside and drink me in

I’ll fill your heart with sheer delight

and a glow and warmth within.

I sigh and stretch my open arms

and push a passing cloud that hides

the open doors of heaven

where my light resides
