___________________________________________________________

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.

The light that guide, in essence a source of grace. A nugget if ever there was one.

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.

Oh yes so skillfully done Andrea! I'm sure there will be several that are similar but not exactly alike. I love yours so much! Xo

Andrea Dietrich

Yes I think so too

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

Love it and if I was going to do one it would be similar. It's the allegorical Daystar I was alluding to in my poem Dark Underbelly. Check out Crystol and Sam's, they took a similar approach to yours
