L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

Embrace the Night

With peace in your heart, embrace the night
Relish diamonds twinkling like pointillist art
Find your special place, stifle not your sigh
Embrace the night with peace in your heart.

Write a poem based on your heavenly vision
You can’t dismiss the experience as ho-hum
Something magical happens among the stars
Based on your heavenly vision, write a poem.

Envision, if you can, the galaxies so far beyond
Our Milky Way, as you allow your eye to scan
The planets residing in their appointed places
The galaxies so far beyond envision, if you can.

Realize how small we are in the cosmic schema
And never forget there are greater than, by far,
We who gaze up into the universe’s wonders
In the cosmic schema, realize how small we are.

Anne :-) L Milton Hankins September 25, 2022 at 8:58 AM Thank you so very much, Ann. I think we all stand in awe of the universe. Appreciate the FAVE!

Gershon Wolf September 24, 2022 at 9:13 PM Nice! ... And I am going to take your advice to heart, Milt. I am going to write a poem based on my heavenly vision. (Even if I do wear thick-rimmed specs! lol) Thanks! ~ gw L Milton Hankins September 24, 2022 at 9:49 PM Go for it, gw. I'm sure we would all like to read your impressions.

Tom Cunningham September 24, 2022 at 10:40 AM The night sky never ceases to amaze me and I often go out on a clear night and stand in awe at the heavens above. You're right though, we are but grains of sand in the grand scheme of things. Hope you have an enjoyable weekend Milton. Tom L Milton Hankins September 24, 2022 at 12:57 PM Thank you, Tom. The night sky helps me to understand what J. B. Phillips meant by "your God is too small!"
