Tonight...
One little star
hanging in the sky.
Just hanging there,
looking down on
a sea of troubles
and twinkling serenely.
Must know something
we can't know.

My dear Ida Belle, the twinkling is really the little star repeatedly winking and saying, "I've got a little secret."

Did you make a wish?  

"oh, would you like to swing on a star?"

One little star, I wonder what it knows?  I like the simplicity of this one, it's not overdone.  The slightest bit more would have been too much, another line less would have been too little to build the mood.

You and the little star make a perfect pair, dear Ida. You have called it into existence through your awareness.

Very lovely!

Love,
Margherita
