Starry Night

I worship the stars
As they shimmer
Glowing in the night sky
They bring a peace
That I need at times
Their glimmering is perfect
Brings a feeling of relief
Where I melt on my blanket
I love the starry sky
An amount of hope
Equals that of religion
Bringing timelessness
During the night session
May their glow last forever
As comfort enters my heart

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
