Bestowing a Gift

Along the meadow grass and blade I climb to meet the end of day As skylarks coo their final song In the purple of winds’ relay That brushes vales with evening hues. My thrill rises as evening bursts Of prism light that glares afar And the moon bestows a gift, rare-- Within my reach, one newborn star pulsing through life's flowing ebb. Each breath, each prayer finds its home Beguiling my soul’s trail, consoled A promise now within my reach When the language of faith is told; Through earnest sighs, my primal lore. Just Within Reach Contest 4/18/2015

Often I am at a loss for words when I read your poems, your style is magical, and my comments unworthy.

Well, this is delicate, stirring poem that is complete in it's message,and beautifully put together. Reminds me of a song, " how can you hold a moonbeam in your hands." Bravo, Nette
