staring up at a sky full of stars

staring up at a sky full of stars

                                                                 by harlon rivers

just a flock of birds
in the midnight sky
rhapsody beheld in dreamful eyes ,
staring up at a sky full of stars

oh !
      oh !
           sweet creation !

what a hallowed solace
enchanting near and far

wolf moon atop
the rising wintertide ,
lies low and over head ;
halo around
the winged moon’s
old yellow aglow ,
reflecting from
a higher plateau
--- upon
the snow covered fields
                      of winter

and if I had a broken wing ,
lost and forgotten
in the cold fields of winter ,
who’s to say I cannot fly away ?
for love is
the greatest healer known

                                                 rise up !
                                     rise up !
             above shadowed
winter night ,

spirit of all wind
uplift the wings 
of love and light ,
for love is
the foremost purpose bestowed ,

love is the greatest harmony sung
joyfully --- taking flight
