i had trailed the still and
unworldly stream;
waters had rushed in whispers

i seen the warm
coruscation in great pulse
a bright star
fallen, flaring fiercely
announcing the others

remember the beginning of time?
rich in passioned wonderment

were you there to see the birth
of true rapture?
haven't you read the chronicles
of life?

it says all is fruitless, nugatory
so for the star i had written
L-O-V-E
