STAR POems: Breaking the Silence

Breaking the long black silence

they shyly call

 

darkness be gone

darkness be gone

 

ancestral melodies

stir the still damp air

 

light is coming

light is coming

 

tiny shining eyes

watch from the trees

 

see it rise

see it rise

 

blazing white halo

lifts into view

 

hear us sing

hear us sing

 

unfired euphoria

starts another day

 

now we fly

now we fly

 

Donna Beck
