Music In the Sky
Lingering light dwindles among the horizon
Twilight fades with a farewell from the sun
Shadows disappear as stars sprinkle the sky
with the moon illuminating those who walk by
Woods appear so much more ominous at night
silent blackness causing an overwhelming fright
Trees are like charcoal – inky blankets all around
as nocturnal animals hunt without making a sound
Country paths seem lifeless in the eerie dark
occasionally disturbed by a guard dog’s bark
Temperatures fall with the mid winter freeze
people feel the chill with the cold air breeze
Day light sneaks in as the sun begins to rise
the moon and stars hide away in disguise
Patiently waiting for the darkness to reappear
so they can play again, when humans disappear.
~~~
Soft amber and glistening gold hesitate on the horizon
Melting mysteries of silence and glowing a surprise in
Creating kindness that flows from rivers in graceful sighs
Healing, encouraging and enlightening as it does chastise
Miracles, bold and vibrant, awaken the heart to delights
Enriched by truths discovered in dancing rays of insights
Rich hues of crimson memories float across my mind
As the music of heaven’s graceful vibrance leaves behind
Memories I’ll treasure as I walk through this rich life
Where beauties surround me and keep me from strife
Inspiration walks past the silent breathes of imagination
And I welcome the gifts that enlighten and thrill from creation
Where gentlest sparks of joy cultivate with hope to enchant
Giving me gifts from heaven that will eventually supplant
All the worries that haunt me and live in the shadows within
Where longings for the promises of God’s love does begin
