More Poetry...

So, Savannah said that I can post more of her poems as long as I post mine too. So, again for Poetry Month, here is one of mine:

The Gift

This night,
the full moon breaks forth from the deep darkness.
And the world is bright as day,
yet still and quiet,
safe and hidden in the black of the night.
The stars are clearly seen.
Their luminous pattern sprinkles the sky,
telling a story about the origin of the earth,
or simply telling my story.

A wide ribbon of white gracefully dances through
the bold light of the moon and the gentle light of the stars,
tying the splendor seen as if a bow on a package.
The sky above beckons to  me.
I am excited as a child.

Do I dare to open the gift before me?
Do I dare to see what God has in store?
Do I dare to see God?
Not only in the glorious beauty above,
Not only in the sacred silence of this night.
But in the hearts of those around me?
In the many stories of every life,
More stunning than the multitude of the stars.
