Night Sky

 
night sky sparkles
clean and cloud-free
sliver of a moon
blends into the splendor
of flashing stars
wished upon
throughout the eons
what is it about
Heaven . . .
Space . . .
the great expanse . . .
that calls us
to lift up our voices
on its behalf
is Heaven up there
or is it just . . . there
believers
and non-believers
look to the sky
for inspiration
a rumble of dry thunder
or maybe a heavenly voice

nights like this
one could lose themselves
and become
as one with . . .

everything they are
