from Jupiter-Sky
and Saturn-Rings.

was moved in doors that night
affixing stars
to the draperies
providing soft light.

a genuflection to the Eternities.

rose-bud souffle
Softened Twilight
twinkling, poured and mixed
with warm hearts, heightened spirits
and deepened souls that night.
The music of the Heart Song
beat strong;
The message was clear:
Life is beautiful;
enjoy it while
you're here.
There won't be
any
Leftovers
left over
after the feast.
