Stars 3858
As I rest on the sturdy surface
Of the ancient wooden pier,
Warmed by the sun’s rays.
My essence diminishes.
I gaze up at the brilliance of the heavens.
Illuminated not only by
the radiance of the moon.
But by the multitude of bright stars.
Sparkling, twinkling minute
Crystals of pure light,
spray across the midnight sky,
and remind me of His majesty.
Are they placed there tenderly?
By his holy hand?
Or has the wind
Scattered them carelessly?
Is there a message
Written in the stars?
A solution to a mystery?
Or do these dazzling lights
Have no significance?
Whichever…
I will never tire of
gazing up at their wonderful empire.
Too exquisite to abandon.
