Heaven's Footprints Fade

Waka 5 7 5 7 7 7

stars hum in silence
orbiting moon softly glows
heavens footprints fade
hiding the angels above
they who marvel over man
cling to the shekinah glow

This is perfect Cherrie. Plus, I learicated a new word, shekinah.
This does really capture everything I love about early am rising and feeling the calm of night seep through my pores, giving just the right amount of top up power to get us through whatever today holds... Which here, will no doubt include a few we'll aimed snowballs that hit their bullseye and dribble down your neck and back. Brr!
Roll on those balmy summer nights of double digit degrees 😊

"They who marvel over man..." We who marvel over them! A truly spiritual piece. Heavenly beauty here, Cherrie.

[Cherrie]

:) yes we do marvel over them.

shekinah - not sure what this word means, but this is a wonderful write

[Cherrie]

Normally it's referred to as the shekinah glory of God. Which is His manifest presence.

[William Michael Reeves]

Ok. God's home glows and leads the followers from the darkness to the light. I might suggest if something is that esoteric perhaps a note to explain after reading it might be nice.

[Cherrie]

I may have to add a little note.
Look up Owlcation.com for some poetry forms

[William Michael Reeves]

Owlcation is quite a trove of treasures. So a waka is a poem. I'm checking out Haigu. I already had enough on my brain. Thanks a lot!!

[William Michael Reeves]

What now? A Waka? One more than a Tanka. Where are you finding these forms, I didn't see this one in my searches. Beautiful words that feel comfortable to me now. But I'm going to go search shekinah. Indian I'm guessing. I'll be back to read this good poem again.

[Cherrie]

Word is Jewish:) happy hunting.

[Lathen Griffiths]

The night sky brings to our eyes such a serene and ever changing display of beauty, conveyed wonderfully here with your poem ‘ Heaven’s Footprints Fade’

Best wishes
