Heavenly Fixtures Created By One Star

On day one, how sunny was the sunlight?
Did prodigious brightness, blast…
the sun delight, its birth?

The first time in the sky was nightlight blue?
The moonlight, was it waxing -
Was it festive blue at birth?

Fruit chewed from sin’s tree by Eve and Adam
Did clouds shadow sun and moon
the first time sin was chewed?

Day and night switched places, bleak was the cross.
The moon bled red…the son died.
With men, Jesus switched places.

On the third day, hallelujah sunrise
Jesus walked out of the grave.
Salvation light, the third day.

A multitude of stars, Abraham saw
when God pointed out his sons —
one star, one famed night sky

10/7/6 per kimo verse
with chiastic structure 
(Hopefully I have done it justice)

Very beautiful writing, Kim; deeply moving and comforting. "The moon bled red…the son died. With men, Jesus switched places." He did indeed, take on our sins, going back to heaven, opening a door, and leaving it ajar for us. And he also came back to us, to dwell amongst us as the Holy Spirit:) The Second Coming is our acceptance.
