Notes About The Poem

As Starlight Falls-Answer Me

I watch the splendor of a shooting star 
and breathe the beauty of a hum-guitar   
Her light 
in flight 
is like a million lanterns on a cooling night

I dream awhile beneath the tarp of heaven 
then close my eyes & slowly count to seven 
I wish in true 
for souls renew 
and soon I’m covered in night’s dew 

I loose the mind and pry his realm  
it`s an expedience of God’s mystic dream    
When free 
I see 
the beauty of his creation for all eternity 

I watch the splendor of a bird in flight  
and breathe the beauty of a blessed night 
His wings 
they sing 
to me of freedom, and all a night can bring;

If only we can learn to sing
Like a Cardinal on a string!

     As Starlight Falls Answer


     All from this promise that renews
     God's light spills forth to claim it's due
     when curtains rise 
     from darkened skies
     warmth returns and starlight dies

     Dreams awake to breathe the light
     with sounds of life that takes to flight
     as song birds sing
     in praise to bring
     all honor to this new day's king

     To rise and walk in peaceful bliss
     with all this wonder none should miss
     from thee
     to be
     of heart that all this world might see

     In wisdom may each soul possess
     a knowledge earned from nothing less
     than God's own hand
     that grants this man
     a will to understand

     If one could but recall the words
     from songs of love the starlight's heard

very nicely done, Charlie!! For me this was a difficult challlenge. I am not sure, but I think you have to copy and paste Mystic's poem at the top in order to qualify. so go do it (if that is what her rules say!!)

Thank you Andrea. I don't think that was stated in the rules but I took your advice and did it anyway. Thanks again, Charlie
