STAR

Star of the night

Spread its rays of illumination,

Is a light of all being

Tortured for its beauty.

In changing colours

They float accross the vast sky

Of lifes' labour

above the horizon.

Towards the dark space

My heart races

To feel those glittering diamonds

Strewn all over.

Purity and beauty

Transfixes my mind

Like a huge curtain

Hanging between us.

with lasting gracefulness

It wanders aimlessly

Through the desert

In a confined path.

It seemed to move further away

With an inevitable wink

Of the exquisite star.

My body aches to feel,

To touch the little one.

For the need to answer

The call of nature,

I stumble

Leaving us in confinement.
