Starbright Soullight

Number 50

September 21, 1994

The stars shine as
     as they look down below,
Staring a million miles wide
          Into the deeps as they gauge,
Gauge the depths of me
     the depths of my soul;

The sky, the universe,
     the world,
All the brilliant stars of the world
          Raining and shining,
As one shines brighter
     than before;

Bedazzling and bedecked
     in blinding rays,
Sinking and slowly impressing,
          Molding into my heart,
As it stands to receive the radiance
     of you;

Openly, calmly and
     fierce,
Praying the everlasting
          Everlong prayers,
I am absorbed by the lustrous
     glow of the stars. . .
