Heaven called her by name
Illuminating the earth’s atmosphere
Sparkling and twinkling during the early light years
Lighting the ebony night sky in ultraviolet blue
She was one of a multitude of celestial beings
Yet... this one
This one was no ordinary being
She personified the sky
Filling all space and time for those who loved her
Her heavenly body motionless at times
Other times she swayed
In the amber glow of her starry host
But mostly...she soared
Up
Up
Up
Higher
Higher
Higher still
Dancing along the edge of the cosmos
Flirting along the firey prism of life
Cozy sapphire wavelengths... warmed her heart
Blue-green and emerald hues ignited her spirit
Yellow and orange flames
Exploded into passion
There were times she simmered
In ruby red flames of envy
Red hot fire raged with anger on occasion too
Infrared flames
Eventually scorched
Leaving marks and scars
On her heart
Her days are ebbing now
The light years wane
Softly against the ebony night sky
A warm amber glow returns
Ever so slowly
She
falls
Softly
Floating among the clouds
Her sparkling light
fading now
~T~w~i~n~k~l~i~n~g~
Once
Then again
Heaven called her by name
