In Sleep's Deep Silent

A rare amber glow shines each night.
In sleep's deep silence, a pure light
Pierces heaven, downward gaze,
With a brilliant starry ray.
Rich in spiritual love,
He will answer from above.
A rare amber glow shines each night
In sleep's deep silence, a pure light.

This is a wonderful and enlightening write my friend! I totally loved reading this glorious poem this evening! What a fantastic piece, such a harmonious poem, Great Work!! PS my family were in a major car accident a couple of nights ago! We have been dealing with injuries of the crash, though not severe! It is amazing that the injuries were so minimal, it's because the airbags saved their lives! In case I don't comment on your poetry for a few days you know why! I'm behind...Thanks!
