ADIEU TO A STAR


O ruby star flare! Dim not your gaze
when the glad tree is shorn of grace
and doves part wings all fair with hay
in a drear barn that bore our salve.
O fire tip dart to pluck my soul
if rust eats holes so new love cries.
I pine for bliss; come melt this life
and let me waltz with your fond kin.

    This is one of the main reasons I want to live in a seculded land away from tall buildings, because I want to see stars every night before I go to sleep. I love the imagery in this poem.
