Spicy Mia's blog: "A New Star Is Born"

OUT OF THE DUSK A SHADOW ,

             THEN A SPARK ;

OUT OF A CLOUD A SILENCE ,

              THEN A LARK ;

OUT OF THE HEART A RAPTURE ,

                THEN A PAIN ;

OUT OF THE DEAD , COLD ASHES ,

                  LIFE AGAIN.....

O SHADOW , IN THY FLEETING FORM I SEE

THE FRIEND OF FORTUNE THAT ONCE CLUNG TO ME .

IN FLATTERING LIGHT , THY CONSTANEY IS SHOWN ;

IN DARKNESS , THOU WILT LEAVE ME ALL ALONE .
