Though darkness arises
The moon still shines bright
Announcing the gift
Of the coming light
In brilliance of white
Joy that it brings
Even still water
Ripples and sings
Through unknown of darkness
Its’ message glows through
Reflection of hope
Will come into view
Let us turn east
Our way to employ
With praise let us sing
In hope and true joy
I shall sing with both hope and joy my friend. Beautifully written.

Reminds me of Psalm 89:37– It shall stand fast forever like the moon, the abiding witness in the sky.

Do you know St. Francis’ canticle? …
“Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars,
In the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.”
I love the way you celebrate stillness and beauty. Best wishes, Michael

Taking time to contemplate God’s creation brings a sense of hope, peace, and joy. You captured them all. Also, when I like your post, I am being asked to follow. Let me know if I need to choose to follow you again. I have had a couple of sites do this.
