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!
Amen. Beautiful words. Thank you.
