The Angel Star
By Mary Emeji

Somewhere across the seashores
Before the daylight came,
I felt a flicker in the sky
Shimmering on my terrain;
Could it be a star
Warming up my soul?
I didn't see the star
But I loved you so.

It was crispy cold that February morn,
I felt a new glow on my supple skin:
Calmness within - a silent sound
Till the sunlit sky faded-in.
Could it be a star
Leaving me all alone?
I didn't see the star,
But I loved you so.

Pure and divine was the mystery
Of your brief presence - my inmost thrill;
Though Spring had come on April's day,
Your light grew dim, dark, then dazzled still.
Could it be a star
Leading me as I go?
I'll someday see the star,
And forever love you so.
