[Midnight Star]

"Awaken" she says, with dawns next early light - this morning has gone,
the day is now night
As tired as I seem, I rest in a chair - reading Henry Thoreau,
breath's mist in the air
I finish the page, and fold closed the last book - I glanced over to see,
to partake a quick look
The covers were pulled, her eyelids were drawn - asleep she now is,
awaiting a new dawn.
I pulled down the glass pane, fobade the cold night - stepped outside the room,
turned off the soft light.

We need to change the name of this discussion from Just Conversation.

Howard,
Midnight Star a poet doth seem
I might need help for my next theme

 

[denisegg]

I awaken with the strike of the clock at midnight
With only the flicker of the fire for light
I cross to the window to look at a star
And suddenly all of my troubles seem a far

 

[Midnight Star]

A theme she has said, and with Howard in tow - now Phil on the sidelines, asking "What?",
we don't know
They draw deep in a thought, a well it does seem - has somehow ran dry, at night
in a dream
The dream did yet pass, on a night's breezy air - to drift somewhere past,
I know n'er not where
It may yet come again, as each day I yet gleen - through the window of glass,
again to be seen
I know it will come, for this I must boast - yet again it will come,
when you need it the most

[Midnight Star]

A star she hast held, in her hands yet so high,
at midnight it came, burning bright in the sky.
So bright it did shine, the darkness was dross,
In the light in your eye, where no one is loss.

 

[denisegg]

The hour tis late and to bed I must scurry
To get all my beauty sleep in a hurry
For the Midnight Star doth shine bright on this night
But can he keep shining in the harsh daylight

 

[Midnight Star]

The daylight was meant, for someone other than me - In the night I must shine,
a hope for to see
A small ray of light, much like the warm sun - that shone just for you,
this even will come
That you may thus see, though the darkness prevails - the light of this life,
inside you yet dwells.

 

[denisegg]

Though it be midday and the sun is shining bright
That is not the source I seek for light
For only a star can shine so bright
Because it doth come at midnight

Denise, I need to sample some of your meds. Are they legal?
