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.

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
