Dear Nova

The midnight dark reveals she
Drowning all in her heavenly blue glow
On a surface lake, does she dance
Lost in time, she lives forever

Morning light, warm and lovely
Yet conceals she who lives on
Like a forgotten sadness that returns
Prithee, I pray, visit at a time such as this

A shining star you are to me, dear Nova
And a shining star you will stay
For as long as my quintessence thrives
Dear Nova, shine light through the windows of my soul
