Thirty Nine - Twilight Star

A/N: While walking to church earlier today, I was transfixed by a wonderful scene before me: a single star shining in the twilit sky. I found it really romantic, the fact that I could still see the star even though dawn was breaking. And because I'm weirdly meditative at the slightest provocation, I came up with this. Enjoy. =)

 PS: I wish I'd taken a picture. I would have loved to show it to everyone!

The sun to show itself begun;

I saw the rosy light again.

And then, I knew the night is done –

A hope has come anew to men.

But ere the blazing rays of gold

Could part the gray and dismal clouds,

I saw a star – so lone, so bold!

That coming light can’t yet enshroud.

I wondered what the omen meant

Or whether ‘tis a call to me,

To whom her dreams were heaven sent:

Is this a sign of what to be?

For, like that frosty, lonely star,

I struggle here to bring forth light

Against the growing glow that mars

And so obscures my cherished fight.

In seeking answers, turn I did –

To look again upon the star.

I sought in vain! My guide was hid –

To me was lost – so very far!

But soon I came to realize

That through this passing, brighter light

Upon the darkened earth will rise,

To help in setting wrongs aright.

So then I smiled, my goodbyes bade

To where I stood. For in the sky

So many stars would rise and fade –

And in my dreaming, so shall I.

For so I know that what I do

Will be forgotten in the time

When others come; a stronger hue

Would blot my traces left, sometime.

To light a fire, I’d happy be --

Awhile with it, the darkness pierce,

Until the time my soul is free

And hope again would born be here.
