River of Heaven

(inspired by my painting, River of Heaven)

 

On those darkest of nights

you stretch your brilliance over us,

glittering points of light

held within your celestial grasp.

 

We who fear the dark, close our eyes,

yet here is where you shine the brightest

in the dark

you show us

the possibilities that light obscures.

 

We who do not fear the dark

are drawn to you,

seekers, adventurers, explorers,

finding truths

to share in the light.

 

As night moves into day,

you travel on

your endless journey

always returning to remind us

 

There is always hope

There is always a way
