Starred Blackness

 Silent in beauty
A sunrise burning dawn
with the path of it's rising
moving gently passing on

This lovely Starred blackness
that has meant much to me
a changing dreams 
this love far from me

I sit in the warmness
this cool whisping wind
seeing blue depths of water
fight with feelings within

these beautiful waters
that were travelled along
have been blown by the wind
like a bird without song

touched these miles
of soft sanded shores
 loveless encounters
though some I adored

Sunrise yes Sunset
are mixed into one
as a life prolonged
that has never begun

a strength starred blackness
is felt deep inside
while a bright burning Sun
finds these places I hide

 I care for it's beauty
the love that it brings
Springtime romances
songs that each sing

but dark patterned movement
the quiet of nights
are my simplest pleasures
to them I'll hold tight

without the starred blackness
I'd never survive
to enjoy waited moments
while I'm here still alive.
