~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
