A chapter in the book The Ottava Rima

If Every Star Should Fall

by adewpearl


If every star should fall from out the sky
and April fail to yield to first of May,
If bubbling brooks don't laugh as stream beds dry
and barren meadows bear no bright bouquet,
If birds lose all their plumes and cannot fly
and doldrums leave the sea without its sway,
I still will find the spark within your smile
to light my path and guide me through each trial.
