The Stars And Other Considerations

ah stars my chandeliers through wind chimes shimmering
above the wide world banded; constellations, blueprints
of Light, His coded love.

how long you have gleamed, seemingly gliding above me
turned on a dial by God in charge of the crystalline, and charged with all

the prisms. we will watch for the borealis, aurora, dawn
what often was praised at the beginning of stanzas,

in prologue

my poems how will you launch into space

among the other poems shining
not in a half-life almost born;
taking your place

among the other songs.
