The sun has dipped below the horizon
the earth still warm from her gaze
the moon looks down as she departs
and she gives a flourish of her fiery gown
as she bids him adieu
knowing he'll hold her light until morning
he was made to reflect sun's light as if
it is his own.
the treasure God has entrusted him with
since the fourth day
an ancient celestial shift change
do you ever look up at the moon
and marvel at how he holds the sunlight?
how he holds our secrets
our hopes
our dreams
our midnight confessions
even our fears
i think of David singing of the heavens
declaring the glory of God
and that they speak day and night
have you ever spoken into the starry sky and
somehow felt better or enlightened
afterwards?
i go out many a night and just gaze
up at the moon and all the stars
and pour my heart out
they don't even try to hide behind a cloud
when they see me
and i always go back in the house with some
wisdom that i didn't have when i
went out there
did i talk to myself and become wiser?
or did the heavens answer back and
communicate with my spirit and soul...
David stood under the very same sky
thousands of years ago and felt it too
the sun, moon and stars have purpose
they're not up there twiddling their
twinkles just for something to do
and the Bible is full of references
to the workings of the heavens
the celestials guided the Magi to Bethlehem
and so much more
i have given the sun and the moon genders
right or wrong, that's just me
they were created for us
and i can't help but look at the sky
day or night and not see
God's goodness written all over it.

We don't look up enough.
βThen God said, βLet there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;βGenesisβ¬ β1β¬:β14β¬ βNKJVβ¬β¬

βThe heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,β Psalmsβ¬ β19β¬:β1β¬-β4β¬ βNKJV
