Sun, Moon, and Stars

 

Sun, Moon, and Stars   I have stood within her warmth, felt her majesty,  and thanked our wondrous Sun because--- She shone across the morning sky to mark the break of dawn. She warmed the breeze that drifted by as afternoon moved on. She danced among fall’s leaves turned dry, cast shadows on the lawn; as twilight came, she winked goodbye and, all too soon, was gone. ~ ~ ~ I stood in awe of how he sparks romantic hopes and dreams  and watched our lovely Moon as--- He moved into the coming night and smiled upon the Earth. He offered such a gentle light to soothe the darkness' dearth. He calmed my fears and eased my fright and took his rightful berth. He came to tease me just for spite and blessed me with his mirth. ~ ~ ~ I have wished to know  why the stars shine bright in such a grand design while--- They twinkled high above the land and danced into my dreams. They formed the constellations grand and watched the comets stream. They shone upon the beach's sand and lent their special gleam to eyes of lovers hand-in-hand--- Stars bring romance, it seems!

Really beautiful. Wish I had written that one. My favorite part and I did have a hard time choosing.



She shone across the morning sky
to mark the break of dawn.
She warmed the breeze that drifted by
as afternoon moved on.
She danced among fall's leaves turned dry,
cast shadows on the lawn;
as twilight came, she winked goodbye
and, all too soon, was gone.



Great piece of writing.

Just read you won the contest and with such style. The perfect rhythm and meter drawing on its gentle cadence to carry the reader along, gliding from sweet expressions to masterful thoughts. Well done, a true masterpiece.

Sharon my friend, your artistic ingenuity is shining through in his so sweet and gentle write...praising the virtues of nature for the magic they lend to human emotion. Indeed, the same God who created the sun, moon and stars also created us. And He's the one with the plan for humankind. Simply a beautiful and powerful write.

Very beautiful, Sharon! I love to look out at the stars at night. Especially, when I lived out in the country.
