A Treat By the Heavens

And for this, shall my soul find solace 
Every time my eyes behold the sky- that majestically hollow place.
I'll take in the effulgence of the moon;
As swell icing on a cake, shall I indulge this boon.

And these stars... 
From deep within with ambrosial luster have they concealed my scars.
Now shall my heart cry "Shalom! Shalom!"
For my soul has savoured and known divine pulchritude. Shalom! 

And my troubles shall be rolled away (in the morn)-
With the clouds, as a new man shall be born.
Indeed, my lectus regium- the soothing bedding of the heavens
Which you provided for my rest of days and nights in sevens.

To the ends of the worlds and beyond shall my words run
Bearing news that all these have I been served by the sun.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
