Tears Of The Rose

Star of day

What do I see -

A little diamond so bright,

Glimmering in the sky not of night

Yet how it shines in the light

So bright, so piercing a star

Why do we assume that stars

Only shine in the darkness

We assume, we see stars only in blackness

And forgot their sparkle in the

Blazing passion of the sun:

The eye of fire, heart ablaze 

Light pouring from it like a river aflood

Light streaming from the sky and blinding us,

Blinding us to the light of the stars

And when the sun retires,

Rolling down the lit up sky,

Flames doused in pink clouds,

Orange drenched in shadows coming

And there and then the stars reveal

So bright like diamonds in the night

Come little star, who caught my eye

Shining in the sun ablaze with light

Like a tear drop glinting in thy eye

Nevermore a star in the night
