Brilliant Star

Like bone buttons

on a dark blue velvet vest

we stood out with depth

 

As brilliant stars on a moonless night

danced across the conciousness

 

One tiny speck, all bright and blue

whirled and twirled

with uncommon shyness and innocence

 

And complete disregard

of looks askance

or references to misbehavior

 

For all her beauty

and heartfelt love shone

far brighter than the rich

depth of her worldly experience
