It lies in peace until it dawns,
From afar, thou see its thorns
It eases thee into its paws
And certainly isn't without flaws

Drawing thou near or far,
promoting more than just a star
Strips thee of thy inhibition
thrusts its sparks into thy ignition


Thou may end up found or lost
and never know at what cost
Thou ooze into its lure
with nothing to secure

But mere excitement for its nature
Will reveal the utmost rapture
Serenity and  radiance combine
with a glow of absolute divine

Can never be mistaken
All though, sometimes forsaken
And even if thou wish to flee,
It will never run from thee

Attempts to abrupt its longitude
Will not defy its magnitude
Its glory shall forever stay
Until it is time to go away.
