A star fell silent through the night,
and I, alone, prayed from afar
that I might find true love's delight
by wishing on that falling star.
In years to come I'll tell our child
a star fell silent through the night
and kindly on my wish it smiled,
for love soon found me in its sight.
Who knows when passion will ignite,
when souls will meet and ardor burn?
A star fell silent through the night
and brought delight to one who yearned.
I once stood in a dark abyss,
but now I bask in love's great light,
clear proof that miracles exist
as stars fall silent through the night.

Author Notes
The quatern consists of four quatrains where the first line of the first verse is repeated as the second line of the second verse, the third line of the third verse and the fourth line of the final verse. Mine is modified because I have made a couple of changes in the fourth appearance of the descending line.
