under the electric blue
of the predawn sky
a mornings star called
with a point of light so bright


and it held me in wonder
and knew my true name
for it was from the stars
that we once all came


and as the morning colors
slowly emerged
to swallow the star
and feed us new energy
and the suns rebirth


in a moment the miracle of being
was smiling and free
all an intrinsic part
of life’s engaging mystery


and in Time the wonder and innocence
can slip slowly away
and the glory of being alive
can soon fade
into all we have to do each day


but if you can take some time
and breathe in nature’s pure love
and if you get up at dawn
and wish on a star above


part of your heart
will be brought
for a moment to see
the magic of life
and wonder if that star that shines
and is blessing from God
given for us to see
