STAR POWER

Looking into dark sky one night,
I saw a most unusual sight.
A star came unglued from its mount,
and left the rest, still beyond count.

It streaked the sky with bright white light,
then dropped abruptly from its flight,
burning through Earth’s atmosphere
until its remnant crashed quite near.
In fact, that’s where it was, right here.

About the size of crystal ball,
but oh so bright, it shone on all.
Its magic worked to expand hearts
which then were pierced by Cupid’s darts.

The loving then was fixed upon
the first one seen, caused swoon anon.
No conflict seen from that day on
Nor any face again was wan.

The hosts above each night would hear
no more wishes from want or fear.
Affection, laughter, joy arose,
intensifying starlight glows.
