(dedicated to Musica Viva Australia) <br /> <br />a river full of hopes <br />we fly peaceful flags <br />let your song be delicate <br />water can hear singing night <br /> <br />beauty imposes reverence in star <br />hear joyful tune in Summer dew <br />quietly as honey buds she goes far <br />leaves our souls with longing view <br /> <br />loves come so eloquently <br />sparkles in all earth and skies <br />slow waltzes enter tenderly <br />spirit of light beautify our hearts <br /> <br />(inspired by Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night Over the Rhone)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-hymn-to-star/
