Star Birth

Once before I have felt this anticipation

beneath the luminous sky of a whispering night

when dreams stream through pin-light tunnels

crossing this boundless vault

 

Where treasures are quietly kept

until those moments when keyed by moonlight

and silent offerings

secrets tumble from the stars 

caught in baskets of the highest thoughts

safe from the minds of the non-believers

 

But tonight... astonishment!

as the twinkling scrim fades to black

leaving two moons 

each eclipsing their own sun!

 

glittering beads of corona fire

dance like electric rings

charged beyond capacity

caught in the perfect reflection

the inevitable attraction...

slowly circling around each other

and then motionless ... they touch.

 

And with the pressure of eternity

a brilliance flares!

Fusing the inter-penetrated vision,

forming the timeless almond core

universal eye-shaped passage of all longing,

shooting the soul of a star  

through the gates of ecstasy

shining heaven's love...

now and forever more.
