Cloudless Star

The night sky beckons its lonely call

I can not resist… I can not stall

In me rests a will to be called

Where others have toiled & stalled

I sit & wonder where is my old friend

No one to hear…no one to send

I look to a cloudless September sky

No stars this night reflect my eye

Alone in this fight for what’s right

No, never ever alone when cast in His Light

I say a prayer for strength & sight

That thru His Glory I just might

Again, I look to the night sky

Where is my old friend Gemini

A cloudless night and no stars in sight

Surely the Heavens have not lost light

I struggle to see as the moon is behind me

And then it is there for all to see

Out of nowhere a single star do I see

Just a faint twinkle but my heart fills with glee

Could it be my old friend shining from a distant home

Not a shooting & dying star, but alive with its welcome

Which brought me to this conclusion…

What we see is only limited by ourselves & is no illusion

Although clouds may cover & darkness may hide

The stars in the Heavens, like angels to confide

For the Light of the Heavens forever shines & is never dim

On those who stand firm in the dark & never forsake Him.

Jeremiah 31:17
