Imagine the light
from the stars that we see
were merely a glimpse
of what heaven will be.
The tiniest windows 
of light we are shown,
drawing our eyes 
to the place we call home.

Picture a vision
of perfect white light,
no sun for the day
or moon of the night.
Just cascades of light
of none you have known,
in heavenly form
only souls can be shown.

The glory of God
so great and immense,
the stars are like pin holes
for light so intense.
They glisten and sparkle,
like beacons we're drawn,
piercing the skies
through the nights darkest dawn.

With only the faith
of a mustard size seed
we’ve claim to His Son's saving grace,
when blackness of night 
shrouds the light of the day
and faith's left with fear in its place.

Over glorious triumph
of darkest despair
His mighty hand scattered night skies
with glimpses of heaven
that we call the stars,
our windows of mustard seed size.

Thanks, SKAT. I like this one because it wakes up the imagination. As children, we are in a perpetual state of wonder and hope. Sadly, that leaves us with age and reality. I guess I just wanted to capture a moment of it, like a snapshot, and share it.

Thank you. Just another reason to look at the night sky with awe and wonder.

Because I have a cherry blossom limp light, with blue Xmas lighting intertwined; I'd sit and watch, wondering of the night sky and shape of major constellations. I enjoyed your poem making me wonder further. Peace and blessings.
