A million starbursts
Take the darkest sky at midnight
Cast me off without a guide
I will paint a million starbursts
Then a billion trillion more
Scattered diamonds incandescent
Roman candles meteor shower
Falling random like a blessing
Silver raindrops on the dust
I will tip my brush in shimmer
Iridescence glorious glow
Till the heavens shine and dazzle
Dizzy dazzle spinning light
Lovely luminous the glitter
Where a pattern is emerging
Landing strip or lighthouse beam
And I’ll follow follow follow
When I’ve found love’s pathway home
Cast me off without a guide
I will paint a million starbursts
Then a billion trillion more
Scattered diamonds incandescent
Roman candles meteor shower
Falling random like a blessing
Silver raindrops on the dust
I will tip my brush in shimmer
Iridescence glorious glow
Till the heavens shine and dazzle
Dizzy dazzle spinning light
Lovely luminous the glitter
Where a pattern is emerging
Landing strip or lighthouse beam
And I’ll follow follow follow
When I’ve found love’s pathway home

My God Sally that is fantastic, I have had to read it a few times and want to know those words by heart!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Gill for a most generous response. I wrote it after seeing a most beautiful work of art which my daughter posted on FB- a gift for her from a friend. He has made the picture using cut-out paper and I am sure you will love it too. He incorporates the words of a poem Anna wrote some years ago.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Sally. I really, really love it. x
