It’s a night embellished with
a million stars
O love! Come partake of this radiance
Look, how the bejeweled sky sparkles
Like eyes filled with salty tears
Spread over a velvet sky, stars are
a sheet of diamond glitter
There, in the brightest star
resides the desire of my heart
Let’s raise our hands
and pray for a shooting star
An errant flash of luck to come our way
to light the path of our love
A dancing night, rotating on its axis
Stars swirling in a dance of ecstasy
Far from the world’s jarring rhapsody
A night, full of promise
of a brighter morning.
