On the Black Carpet

Above my head are stars that often blink Light is like feathers on the black carpet All of this delight shown for what we think White specks of brilliance are from stars that sit Humble light flows from the sky that emits Its awe inspiring white glory that shows Light is a marksman on my face that knows Of its wondrous music it sends to me No birds block the light, not even the crows The great brazen white light lives so simply Russell Sivey

Love this, love the metaphor of that infinite black space being a black carpet upon which the white specks of brilliance sit. Russell, this is beautiful my friend, thank you for sharing.

Enjoyed reading your great work..The stars of the night are beautiful to behold..Thanks for all the visits to my page.The sun is inching its way back up or I guess I should say that the earth in its orbit around the sun is changing its postion inching its way back up to spring and summer.We in the south get it first.I would think that even the snow crocus would have a hard time this year trying to survive.The Daffodils are cold here this morning for it rained yesterday morn and cooled down..Sara
