Above the Somber Night

I stopped amidst the rushing tide The stars were shining bright I heard the choir of children sing Above the somber night

The haunting songs leaving earth, but in heaven there was (is) light and life. Well done!

This short verse carries a quiet, haunting beauty. The contrast between the rushing tide and the stillness of starlight, paired with the ethereal sound of children singing, creates a moment of sacred pause. Lovely and evocative imagery.

So beautiful and uplifting. There's something peaceful about a night sky. Stars twinkling. Add children singing to that, and it's delightful indeed. Many wonderful blessings to you, B.J. :) Hugs, Brandy
