And so began an Authors Life

I gazed the blushing summer sunset sky

as stars revealed amongst the final rays

and many planets beamed before my eyes

their moons revolved to dance in grand ballets

When I was nine alone in my back yard

and pacing circles in my swimming pool

To make a vortex and float to the stars

Instead the heavens came to this young soul

Beguiled I watched this great celestial scene

My joy was tempered with the somber grasp

That I’m the only witness of this beam

I dashed inside to share the starry cast

So sad I searched the empty house and cried

I ached to give this gift that I have spied

...And so Began an Authors Life...
