Hi Sally,
Wow! This is great! But could the firt two stanzas not work on their own?
There's so much power and energy in them.

>Music from the stars
>
>I heard the melody
>when a star fell in my bedroom
>I picked it up and polished the shine
>put it away for a frosty morning
>when ice zings on starched windows
>and snow twirls on a cold wind.
>
>I threw that snatch of a raw tune
>into the air, let it bounce of an old oak
>slither along a white pond
>No one knew it was there
>It was the glisten of a berry
>that brought it to life
>The stab of a thorn
>that made a hole in the air
>let music flow straight to the heart
>beat in time like an old drum
>
>Rythmn is captured in the long grass
>in pale blossom on a spring day
>budding leaves are crotchets on trees
>I have heard them sing
>In the fall they become a requiem
>a melody that lingers in the earth
>I have seen cold branches
>search for lost keys with forked fingers
>catch stars that fall near a haloed moon.
