Twilight bleeds her darkness over the earth breathing offerings of shadow, reflecting the trembling joys – poured forth by the fireflies who restore some semblance of the spirit’s dance rising beneath the winds, softly whispering this is the night’s last chance to penetrate the edges of darkness with a twinkling who reminds us there is hope, there is faith, there is love and grace promising to reveal to the soul – a song so alive striving to abide on the inside of the heart who knows life has only just begun when the peace who comes is known by His everlasting truth, His kindness, His wisdom and the selflessness that reassures the soul – He is the One who created the sun, the moon, the stars, the glowing fireflies who arise in the dusk to remind us of a hope that is ever a part of the time we spend on earth, time breathed out through the amazing that is no secret – it is the graciousness of a love that never ends, the promise of a light that simply is… soundless as the seas, but more beautiful than the most beautiful dreams a spirit of light that follows the wind, remembers the friend of time is more than just what the eye might find it is love that is more alive than the heart’s sigh love that cries out to the night to take her time to color the moments in the presence of Him who is life, love, lasting beyond the stars and moon lasting despite the sky of fireflies who seem to agree with the heart who can surely see… He is the answer to every need He is the light that assuredly seeks, and brings the heart its greatest relief a forgiveness that prepares the light to bleed through the edges of darkness, through the night’s melancholy into the moments who hesitate to see – joy rising through the glittering trees, the glimmer of peace, the flickering lights who tremble on the seas salting the night in echoes of heaven’s sanctity

Very polished, shining with vitality from the page. It's funny, I've noticed a trend while reading these contest winners poems about fire flies... almost all have the word, "twilight" somewhere in them. (Including mine) it's got to be a word association thing. Congratulations Gina! Xo

Dear Gina, This is so beautiful, only few can write in such a magical manner praising the lord, in such poetic eloquence like you always do, i really love the way youv painted imagery and the flow of your word weaving here is absolutely stunning! I especially love the lines “… He is the answer to every need He is the light that assuredly seeks, and brings the heart its greatest relief” i agree! Pleasure reading this gem! Thank you for supporting my contest. Congratulations on your win.
