Starlight Truths


Love like He loved,
with sincerity and selflessness,
love with your whole heart, with love
that silences the fears that mock...

praising, ever praising...

with the wind, singing its melodies,
rushing away the darkness, dancing
in sentimental joy - silencing the night,
with breathless energy, singing,
to the moon, the stars, all glisteny,
gently kissing away every anxiety.

He dims the night's melody,
rich hues of laughing sensations.

His grace pours light over my spirit,
as I rejoice in His endless singing,
like a psalm, blessing in rhythms,
of wonders only known by the trickles 
of love, like soft kisses,
preaching compassion,
reflecting the joy in a windstorm,
washing away the shadows of yesterday's rain,
reflecting on the soul,
the milky white moon, glowing quietly,
still as the tired excuse...

flames of mystery, lights unfold,
holding only the echo,
nostalgic like the scent so old,
arising on the fifth of June,
as summer teases with its violet hues,
night always remembers, too,
night breathes, soon,
singing a melody of truth.

He listens to the voice of yesterday,
when there was laughter in the dust,
bleeding thoughts, when it was all just make believe,
when he held his thoughts with whimsical 
covering the shadows of fear with faith.

He can hear his voice making time,
more time than he really had, elated,
by the flow of love, soft and sure,
stirring melodies, 
surrounding the heart's lingering energies,
with a sincerity, a serenity, a sense
of what it is to mean everything
to a heart who can hear the love pouring,
down to the soul, 
rich and heavy as a morning dew,
a sunrise, too...

covering the spirit in a gentle,
whispering light through each limb,
each expression, an impression
what it means to love without conditions,
to love...
	the way He meant us to,
to love...
	the way Jesus blessed us, so
this love...
	is more than affection,
more than attainable,
more than alive -
this love...
	is like the stars in the skies,
always shining, shimmering like the smiles,
who abide with those who are pouring out His light,
reflecting what it's like to be a star, so bright!
