He Was Born Of A Star |

HE WAS BORN OF A STAR He was born of a star Of the moon given birth And his spirit spun silk As it circled the earth And his mind finely wove Splendid notions of worth He was raised in the field Where the meadow lark sings And his ear filled with Wonderful magical things And his mind wrote the music For poets and kings Then he lived in a world Of sweet thoughts of the mind And his spirit created A soul good and kind And he followed the dream That he set out to find So he read all the words Of phylosophy's hue And he scrolled on his mind All the notions anew And saw them reflect On the dawn's early dew He painted these visions On canvas of art And wrote splendid verses Like soft meadow lark But he felt incomplete Without love in his heart So he gathered up stars From the great galaxy And birds of the meadow And fish of the sea Then he spun silk of love And he gave it to me Elizabeth Santos |

Hey Liz, Don't start with the thanks so fast. Give me a chance to reply. This was beautiful. It reminds me (like one of my favorte people used to say) that "we are all made of star stuff." |

Elizabeth, You have captured the stars the moon and the sun. And thrown in a plum for a special someone. You have sent the meadow lark to tell of your love. I see him circling high up above. A beautiful poem. Love Sy |
