PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

fractured twilight

how you hail my soul to come hither

and drink with mine eyes

the glory of your celestial show

I am this moment's hostage for you

an enrapt child

hanging on your every incandescent glow

a fallen spirit no more

for you have given me wings to fly

well above mine previous sullen woe

loving the world with a fresh new perspective

even in war, famine or crisis

you alight each in between

the evening and night

to selflessly give your beauty over

to those of us far below

poets such as I, for all time

have and shall weep their tenderest

words for your eye catching generosity

many a weighted heart in men

beats just a little more honestly

in near reverent thanks giving

for your simply just appearing

before our eyes each night overhead

teaching man that even grace in the

universe has a job all its own........
