*****Natures Majestic Beauty*******
******Soaring To New Heights*******
***(First in a series of twelve)***


Created by God

Who holds them together by his Hand

Who spun them across the universe

In orbits destined no worse

Than my final curse.

 *******

 

They reflect in the sea seen by me

Seen by you

No escaping -  whatever you do.

 

 *******

 

He's coming back for you.

 

 *******

 

Those twinkling objects on every horizon

We like to wish upon the sighted first one

Some climb mountains as if they can touch the sky

Reach out and snatch one. . to ask why

Get out your telescopes and take a peek

Look through Hubble to seek

Only to discover our minds are so weak

Our bodies so meek.

 

 *******

 

Made the field and meadow

Formed the rock and halo

Stream and ocean

Began snowflake in motion.

 

 *******

They’re uncountable

Unreachable, yet irresistible

Like a snow melt

In Orion's belt

Sometimes, appear unstable

Swirling into a black hole, uncontrollable.

 

Who named

Each different

Each the same

From what galaxy they came.

The Great Spiral of Andromeda

The Milky Way - Who is to say.

 

 ************************

 

Some say – once told a story

For a man to understand

Have a purpose and make sense

Till Satan convinced  many angles to cross over the fence

Went looking to steal the Glory

To pervert the new new story

Hence. . . . .

Has since. . . . . .

Claimed nonsense

 

A stumbling block

A foolish knock

Till One came

And those who resorted

Beheld by wise men traveling from afar

Following the eastern sky

Witnessed by their own eyes

The birth

On earth

Of the King

 

Brought Him presents and many things

Gold, frankincense and myrrh carried in a jar

They found Him by following a . . . . .

 

 *******

 

Some which shoot

Some fall

Some rise

In the morning say “Good-bye”

But come night

It’s twilight twilight

Which one do I dream upon tonight.

“He made the stars also.”  Genesis 1:16b

He's coming back for His own - AMEN!
That one promise keeps me going! More
and more so as the fabric of this global
system unravels. Good write brother!

Stars...only pinpricks of the real light that can fill our hearts and souls with glory. I find it profound that when it is the blackest those tiny pinpricks of light shine the brightest for us... or in other words... there is light even in the dark of night.
