~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
while darkness colors my thoughts
in shadows, sapphire whispers
blessed by the reflections of stars, moonlight
glistening through the heavens,
rhythmic tales of heartfelt praise, prayers
stories of what it must mean to feel the beautiful
that comes during the evening, twilight’s still breath
rising to taunt the easy flow of midnight
breaking easy against the distant ridges
a music in blue, mountains like stories, poetry
confused by the satiny silence,
immersed in the tempting songs of gentle
grace fills the night with its shiver
inhaling light, the stars who tremble
exhaling hope, the beauty of knowing
just beyond the forest, beckoning
pine coated floors and mossy stones, suffering
clinging ivy, felt ferns and blackest dirt
distant dreams stir the sounds of summer
a soft call from the cricket,
blinking thoughts from the fireflies
and a rhythmic story unfolding on the lips
of those who see Him in this kiss
from the still, cradled in the hills
leaving only the faded moon to speak
words expressing the uncertainty
night’s rising breath, epiphanies written
in the hearts who believe…
beyond this moment, beyond these hills
past the edges of darkness
where the peace sends its still
there comes a promise
a moment in time, when yesterday
remembers – He is with me
despite the darkness, despite the night
even during the moon’s waltz
from nocturnal blues to a distant hue
muted, colored prayers, in the heavens
I can see the music blessing
it is love that is beyond our expressions
He is light that never denies the night
He is light that has no reason to hide
He is light that sings grace through the skies
wherever I meet Him, in the night
on the busy street, among the song’s flames
amid the hesitant prayers
I know what it is to be astonished
I know what it means to be startled
I know how it feels to meet with the twinkle in a star,
the beautiful in a heart,
the miracle of love that is alive,
love that became a sacrifice
for you and I, so we could decide
to live with the One who abides inside,
the One who created the stars, this night
the One who was raised so that we can hope
the One who is love beyond expression
He is the One who makes life worth living
He is the One who brings light to my spirit
He is the One who decides I’m forgiven
He is the One who will always be with me
He is the One and I will hold on – forever!
