Celestial Play

Celestial Play In daylight hours when stars fall sleep, They opened wide eyes to see celestial wonder – The sun and moon at play Racing across their blue playground in hide and seek – A game of tag – Leaving trails of laughter For earthbound eyes, Invited audience, To revel in by covering their brilliant splendor With receding light to total darkness, Daystar encircled with a golden crown, Then lifting shadows, Playfully returning light again To upturned smiles – Suspended breath – Captured by their mischievous spirit As hearts of every language hold hands, Clearly understanding The song of unity inviting Spirits of anticipation rise Into Heaven’s clear vision of the magical and miraculous Never abandoned, Or eclipsed, But following breathless the playmates, Passing, Now separating at the end of their game While a memory replays for eternity, Imprinted in the drowsy stars of a morning sky.
