Woman in Love

From womb to light, from child’s delight
To woman’s longing in the night
A star gave birth, then twinkling wish
And now is witness to a kiss

A girl looks through a woman’s eyes
That flash like fire in midnight skies
A destined footpath has been lost
And once forbidden bridges crossed  

Now all the days are yellow suns
To all the nights the heart succumbs
The world has changed and life itself
Is longing to repeat itself

What power has love’s entrancing spell
That would consume a heart so well
She walks in silken gown of white
Along a dreamer’s edge of night

Her sheets are breezes passing by
Her coverlet,  a starry sky
