The Night Sky

(Tribute to 23October2011 stargazing)


When I look at the night sky
I see your smile from up high
You speak to me of your love ---
Your boundless, outlandish love

When I look at the night sky
I hear you sing a lullaby
It makes me lie down in your peace
It makes me rest in your kiss

You romance me with the stars, the clouds,
the thunder and the mountain breeze
My Love, this hand is for you to seize
You caress me with the sound of the crickets
My Love, this heart is for you to keep

The constellations bring me solace
Oh, how great is your wisdom to have put them in place
Your fingers are majestic
You hold them together in heaven's lake

Stars fall down at your breath
Just as you have walked from heaven unto earth
To see such beauty in the veil of darkness
Begets bliss in my nothingness

You... are my delight
The mist of fears gone, you shine so bright
I stay to wait for the dawn to ascend
My God, your love I know will never end.
