"The shadow only asks us to believe / That first it must fall for the star to rise"


Poem Artwork

Star

Where the shadow falls from eternity
Through contemplation vigil and fasting
A star arises from the heart of night

To comfort bless inspire and simply be
From everlasting to everlasting
First last and always uttermost the light

The gift is given to us just the same
As to the immortals even to me
Although a fragile thing human by name

No broken hearts are deemed unfit to see
No empty hands unworthy to receive
Nor can it be bought for gifts must be free

The shadow only asks us to believe
That first it must fall for the star to rise
And fill from the inside these empty eyes

Steve, my first thought was WOW, where did you find that beautiful picture? Then I read your poem and was reminded of something I used to say when I sold radio advertisements. I would tell the prospect, "They say a picture paints a thousand words but if you give me a thousand words I will paint a much more beautiful picture.
Great write,
God Bless,
Lew

I thik "Star" has a very profound meaning in that faith lies within and it is so easy to take it for granted, as fragile as humans are, we can fall short of it...shadows have a purpose in helping us to see above and beyond to attain the Star!
This write had me thinking!
and thats a good thing! HA!
Love and Peace~
