Russell Sivey Poet Rispetto

Twinkling Specks

Living under a polka dot sky at night
Each little speck of light seems so despondent
When power is lost and is no longer bright
You must look within each sparkling commandment
The stars seem to fall down on you this evening
Beauty throughout is what I’m truly seeing
In the thicket of trees they are deceiving
They twinkle more, exactly what’s believing

Tim B June 1, 2013 at 9:07 AM Ah Russell, I love that first line. Faith makes the stars shine brighter, looking deeper into everything you can see there is always more behind every situation, and there is always a star shining bright. Great poem sir.
