Illumination




As I gaze up towards the heavens
Into the indigo skies
The millions of stars reflected
Twinkling in my eyes
I realize their light
Is merely us
Reflecting back the day
For we are illuminated each day
By the sun
And as the moon is reflecting
This same light
So do the stars shine of us
For the ephemeris clear
Reflects our hearts
Our radiance
Our light
And smiles back to us
In a spectacular array
That we may examine the accounts
Of our encounters
At this so special a time of year
We pay closer attention
To the heavens
A shooting star
To catch our eye
As Christmas approaches
A sign
A light
A miracle
An angel perhaps
With a message
Just for us
Yet the message has already been sent
Some time ago
Peace acclaimed
To all
A message so powerful
It was never forgotten
On the eve of a night
With a midnight so clear
It was a reflection of us
Our light shining so bright
A journey not over
But an ending in sight
A Christmas star with a tail so bright
To tell a tale of eternal light
A light that shone ever so bright
In the hearts of all
With a reminder
To look not to the night
For the light
But within
And not just in yourself
But within all
For this is the light
That you gaze at each night
The twinkle in God’s eyes
Of us
In His ever watchful sight
Never forgotten
Always in reach
As we illuminate the skies
