Author's Notes: "The Stars at Night" is a unrhymed couplet I wrote which centers on the theme of the stars being part of God's divine providence and the metaphorical essence they provide to mankind in helping to understand God's greater purpose which transcends our daily lives here on Earth. Beyond any esoteric discussion of the stars at night, is the simple reassurance that the stars, as physical symbols, provide an all-important visual link between Man and His Maker. At the human level, the stars have always been used in commonplace settings to highlight themes of beauty, love, emotion, redemption, and romance among men and women -- but always with an eye toward a greater meaning that all people aspire to in finding their purpose and destiny in life.

The Stars at Night
Gazing at the stars at night I marvel at their divine beauty,
Knowing that God created them as reflections of His Light.
The stars in a sense serve as light markers to mankind’s
Very existence on this Earth and in celestial dimensions.
The stars have served as romantic backdrops for people,
As they seek love, find love, and want a life together.
The stars with their infinite beauty and God-like presence,
Shall always have import in the lives of men and women.
The darkness of night itself creates a motif in contrast to
The very wonder and hope for mankind that starlight brings.
Love itself serves as that very special emotion which brings
Two star-crossed lovers together as one in God’s eyes in love.
The key is not fear, but the ability to love and feel a spirit of
Adventure as people meet, fall in love, and seek a life as one.
The stars at night mirror God’s eternal presence in the Cosmos,
And represent His Love and Desire to always be with mankind.
The stars reflect an infinite beauty and God’s grace and love,
Which shall always be part of mankind’s existence on Earth.
