Yoni Dvorkis Poet Choka

A Starry Ocean Soaring

A harrowing plight.
Daunting mountainous questions.
Artist in me imploring...

I looked up at night
to witness God's creation,
and thought, these stars are boring...

No, this can't be right.
God has imagination.
Lifeless sky, I'm ignoring...

...

Now I see the light.
God speaks through my impression,
A starry ocean soaring.
