A Star is Born

In a desert, beautiful night

Laying in a pile of stars looking at a sand filled sky, truly

A star is born bright

*

Bemusement bare, transfixed, a sight

in the burn of the night’s cold wind, I'll be

In a desert, beautiful night

*

Silver streams of the night’s sun white

My eyes twinkle, liberated--I breathe

A star is born bright

*

I lay listless, in the night

Drifting, I dream, seconds like hours -- no reality

In a desert, beautiful night

*

I’m engulfed in acceptance's sight

The end, the beginning, for me

A star is born bright

*

Filled with empty joy tonight

I let go, for me

In a desert, beautiful night

A star is born bright
