THE LOST STAR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A star was loosed from heaven
Last Line: On the lips of eternal light.
Alternate Author Name(s): Macleod, Fiona
Subject(s): Angels; God; Stars


A star was loosed from heaven;
All saw it fall, in wonder,
Where universe clashed universe
With solar thunder.

The angels praised God's glory,
To send this beacon-flare
To show the terror of darkness
Beneath the Golden Stair.

But God was brooding only
Upon new births of light;
The star was a drop of water
On the lips of Eternal Light.
