Night Rapture

Special Occasion of Night.

Night Rapture

 

 

Last sun glow trails over horizon a crystalline coalesce.

Slightest breezes curling in grace, please do not withdraw.

This side of night barely conceived. Saturn holds its place.

Heavenly bodies declare the glory of God. We are in awe.

 

Great moon lantern now mature- Star choirs sing praise.

Heaven’s bowl of black velvet night holds twinkling light.

Stars, planets, moon boldly testify. Night hangs in space.

Wonder flows out as if from my inner soul deep delight.

 

To stand open face against heaven’s Welcoming embrace.

Holding tenuous life breathe so afraid beauty may flee.

Great Moon’s orb, the witness to fire of sun glories enlace

O True beauty, its presence welcomed within soft light free!

 

Author's Note

Just a desire to glory in the glories of the night.

'Heaven’s bowl of black velvet night holds twinkling light.

Your words offer the best there is - the sight and feel of a night that seems individually magnificent for each and everyone who bathes in what is ..

A truly beautiful poem. Many thanks for sharing this wonder - full poem.

It was an awesome experience while going through this poem, which was beautifully penned in sonnet style...I like the way you ended your poetry, as it carries a great finishing touch with suitable words selection.

I have known nights such as you depict so clearly here .. to suggest they are magical would be an understatement .. they are so deserving of the very fullest marks that I am permitted to award .. Neville

Magical write. Many take aways. One of my favorites was

Slightest breezes curling in grace, please do not withdraw

It's musical. I like how you speak directly to the universe to preserve that moment of peace

Wishing you some happiness moments this day!

Has almost the sound of a mystical experience. On clear nights, however, as we look up into the dark sky and contemplate it, it is difficult not to feel a sense of awe. A little more inspiring than the expressway at rush hour.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

John the baptist,
Surly our inner being is energized by nature and it's myriad wonders. I totally agree regarding the chaoos of life and particularly driving the expressway at rush hour. No doubt! Hope you have lots of smiles today. Kathy

We sure stand in awe when we witness the night skies and how everything has its place and purpose. You shed twinkling lights on this glorious part of the general creation of God. Your poem is full of great observations and thankfulness.

[Kathy Van Kurin]

Sami ,
Yes you are so right. We as human beings are always touched by creation. The heavens are so beyond our comprehension. Thank you for your review.

Oh that our adult hearts would be able to enter into childlike wonder of heavenly glory!
Thanks so much Sami Khalil!

[Sami Khalil]

So true and well said. You are welcome 😊.

I used to see night skies like this but now here in Tulsa it is hard enemy to find the Big Dipper. Venus and Mars hang out but Saturn is a no show.
Enjoyed your space walk .

Winston,
I hope that you find an opportunity to go find the night beauty. I am glad that you 'used to see night skies.' Bless you much.

It is difficult to live in areas where human presence prevents our seeing the heavens. It's not perfect here but I can view some .
