Starry Host

Starry Host

A Poem by Kathy Van Kurin
"

Ponderings of life, of hope.

"

Starry Host

 

Through highest heaven, night is held a bowl of light.

 

This jubilant joy may catch us unawares

 

Sweet orb lantern rising within blazing star palette.

 

Stand at attention Majesty Music of the spheres

 

Shy? But no, they meet my eyes in perfect time flight.

 

No apology. In witness, my vision meets heavenly tiers.

 

This soul is vulnerably exposed by beauteous firmament.

 

Mortal, this inner light will burn out in days and tears.

 

Time races, forward, measure by measure, passed to present.

 

Then as now from arrested attention still new with years.

 

Jealous of the heavens within humanity I sometime regret.

 

Let us flee modernity into gift of Starry host glorious jewels.

 

When the heart has been dull each glory twinkles a new event.

 

Reminding with clues, God’s own to infuse

 

Flee dull heaviness to a place of child’s wonderment.

 

Breathe deep late night aire.
