The Brightest Star

The Brightest Star

Extending my arms,  I arose
I stood, reaching on my tiptoes
to grasp the brightest star
in the distance afar
magical rainbow  transpose

Mystifying and strange happenings
developing wings and rising
excitement  that astound
I spread my arms spellbound
embracing the star that is sparkling

Magnificent glow in the night skies
nearer the star I had to close my eyes
the brighter it became
I overcame the flame
grasping  a peace in my heart that defies

Suddenly caressed like an infant
experiencing warmth, reverent
ambience of   heaven
my eyes slowly  open
in the Lord’s loving embracement

With His profound loving presence
bound  to believe my continuance
life affairs  imperative
I need to go back and live
with Lord blessed strength and endurance
