Notes About The Poem

For Miranda Hawley's This Acrostic Or That Acrostic Poetry Contest

___________________________________________________________

DAYSTAR

During the daytime, we’re ruled by the sun.
Allegorically, the Daystar is God’s son.
Yes, I have faith in the Bringer of Light.
Stars do not always shine only at night.
Turn to the truth, for it is bright.
As is God’s love, God’s light too is true.
Redemption it brings, for me and for you.

I liked the daystar being made synonymous with God's son.... the source of all light. The spiritual dimension given to the poem makes it stand out. All the Best, Andrea.

Stars do not always shine at night, i agree and if only one would look and see, and even when theres light theres so much more we should remember to see: but as always it is in darkness we see and observe and stop to reflect; i went a bit deep with that line but this overall depicts i think daystar very well dear sweet andrea! Surely will be a top win! Best wishes. Sending you light always

You are so sweet, Eileen. I have been exploring reports of NDE'd and they are giving me a deeper understanding of God and the whole purpose of our brief time on earth.

I wrote one for the peacemaker too but decided to submit the daystar... maybe I'll rethink that.
