Celestial Garden

Stars are seeds strewn by God's hand,
planted in the vast universe

across the fertile soil of night.

Constellations are flowers

in full bloom in moon's light.

Shoots of comet's tail growing,

is a rarely seen delight.

While asteroid petals fall

with a gentle touch, so slight,

of the Gardener's fingertips.

Day 2 Poem 2 in the poetry writing challenge for April -  http://www.napowrimo.net/

I love stargazing and the beauty of the night sky! I will expand on this poem in the future, maybe in May after the challenge is over. I like the start of it, but it has much more potential than this.

Still, with step one of a root canal today, it is the best my muddled mind can do. Look for "upgrades" in the future.

Sometimes, Lord, the best that I can pray is "Thank you that I survived today;" but I will add, thank You for the glorious beauty of the night sky and the inspiration and peace it brings. ~ Amen
