The Only Star For Me

When darkness invades and envelops me I see a light cutting through the dankness I see its source, a shining star The only one in the firmament of my sky When my spirit gropes in gloom I look up to see the light flowing down Lord, you are my beacon and my only light The pole star navigating me Through the rough seas of life In my brokenness and in pitch gloom I see your light, the illumining light It pierces the darkness that blinds my sight And shelters me from every turmoil In times, when I bleed in anguish You fill my heart with strength and cheer You are my salvage and my saviour Align my spirit to the chords of your love I see you as the first and the last The one and the only star in my life God! On looking at your blazing radiance This supplication I do humbly make When I am unsure of my destination Give me Light, clear brilliant light, Not to enjoy the wayside scenes But that I shall not stumble and fall November.10.2022 The Only Star for Me Poetry Contest Sponsor- Mystic Rose Rose

Amen for he placed the stars in place to remind us that there are others that are full of his spirit shinning light in a world full of darkness, they are out there , the clouds might cause it at times hard to find them, but they will always show back up ,may your light spark a new flame
