Upon Slovenia's Shore

Stars rained upon
the Adriatic Sea,
and twinkle-danced
for all of night to see

Beyond the sky
as far as I could tell,
they took away
more quickly than they fell

At glow of dawn
a glorious shooting star,
shed brilliant light
upon Slovenia’s shore

That lit the day
far brighter than I’d seen,
inspiring hope
for humankind to glean

Then on the blush
of early twilight’s cheek,
a peacefulness
that every being seeks

Infused the world
for all of us to share,
and spread a joy
that lingers in the air
