I searched the heavens over
With my peering looking glass,
To find a special beauty
Concealed within the stars.
A vision to astound me,
To make me feel at home.
A spectacle to come and comfort
When I find myself alone.
Although, right there in the shadows
Wrapped in satin veils
A lone star shone before me,
Its bluish light so pale.
Like a comet in the summer sky
She flew with scorching tails,
To light the unlit darkness
When all the heavens fail.
She flew like burning stardust
Like a wonder never seen,
Exploding in the summer sky
In a mass of blue and green.
She calmed the yellow sunrise
To scorch the tepid sea.
She wandered like the silver moon
Across the skies to me.
