Emystar - A Dedication
A star there is that gleams with faithfulness,
It smiles and twinkles gently from afar,
Oh may the Lord this twinkling starlet bless
The guiding light that bards call Emystar.
The little luminary shines so bright
Consoling, steadfast, firm and vigilant,
It beams down busily upon the site
Of YPDC's azure firmament.
Apollo, passing in his chariot,
Does stop his golden car to say “Hello!”
"Good Morning Emystar - love you a lot,
I have to meet with Michelangelo!"
"But you my sweet keep showing your thumbs up,
Or down, as the necessity may be,
And monitor some wily buttercup,
And bugs that celebrate a jamboree".
The gentle beams of Emystar do shine,-
With this the muses cannot but agree,
And sweet her rhyme, as is the newest wine,
And chocklfull of originality.
The foreign-born may trouble have at times
With “2 4 u” - and many such a thing,
But then celestial are this starlet’s rhymes
That through empyrean realms sweetly ring.
How can so amall a body frame contain
So very big and such a faithful heart?
This is the question on the flowery plane
And wondrous reralm of poetic art
Ingenious! - she uses beams wherewith
To rouse King Hamurabi from his snooze,
And sooth Sumerian Queen Samiramis,
And heal with silver rays her hurting tooth.
King Hammurabi in his palace wrote
In ancient eras, now removed so far,
The famous weighty Hammurabi code
His heart aflame and thinking Emystar.
The sailors in the Straight of Gibraltar,
Scared of the cliffs they have to pass at night,
Invoke with trust the beams of Emystar,
To give them for the fearful passage light.
And kids that dip into the cookie jar,
Then when discovered turn around and run,
Pray for protective beams from Emystar,
While fleeing fast, as quickly as they can.
See the contestants fiercely fight and spar,
Lo! in the fencing Martial Arts contest,
They turn as arbiter to Emystar
For fair a judge she is and savviest.
But ill-acquired laurel branches badly reek,
Thus, if they cheat, - beware then she will frown,
As did disgusted Romans and the Greek.
And instantly her little thumb points down.
See here the desert Pasha Saladin,
With his bejeweled famous scimitar
Upon his speeding steed, whose javelin,
Starts flaming ’neath the beams of Emystar
But now she hugs the Roman Calendar,
And notes the saints that sing for her an Ode,
The Blessed chant: “We love you Emystar,-
We love you and so does Almighty God!”
