Rising Star

I was inspired by Tenten to write this. My small tribute.

Rising Star

 

Watching you rise

I’m glad I found you.

A seedling spirit

that I had a chance to see

grow.

In all your purity.

Whoa!

The lord has truly

blessed me so.

 

Because of the things

that caught my eye

but never grasped my heart.

In my past

Tripped up from the start.

I need to see good things now

The light from your sun

illuminates new works of art. 

 

Who knew …

about this flower

yet blooming?

 

Camouflaged by earth 

 harsh words

and concrete.

Or under steel toed feet.

 

Who saw

potential …

in this rebellious student?

Is she

a pupil unreachable or

a schoolgirl schooling?

 

I don’t own stars

or the power to make them.

When it’s their time

to shine

I just appreciate them.

 

Rising star…

 

I didn’t know

who you were.

I was expecting

a myth to keep me sane

till you got here.

 

 

Author's Note

It doesn't cost to pay homage.
