Unlikely now that actual songs are judged

Voting is always political, and predictable
It all started off...

One Heartbeat Away
Stars, twinkling like fireflies, senses,
Even my heart’s best defenses
Can’t prevent the feelings flowing,
One heartbeat away, rhythms growing…
Moonlight, whispers pearlescent charm,
Professing gentle who shan’t harm.
Wonder that is always glowing,
One heartbeat away, rhythms growing…
Celestial nights, sleepless delights
Soundless...

Bird of Flame~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the middle of a midnight song,
came the parakeet,
a bird of flame,
a bird of deep indigo's keep.
Into that blessed night,
of its own song it gave,
not born of fright,
nor for mirth or sonnet's might,
but for rekindling...
