The Moon and Stars Testify

The Moon and Stars Testify

 

The brightly lit moon

Looks down from its heights,

Pondering the great divide.

What a hearty tune

Is playing down there.

All the rustling,

All the bustling.

Does anyone ever look up here?

 

The stars twinkle,

Shining in turn without wrinkle.

They wonder if anyone ever looks up

To notice them shining down.

What a commotion going on in the rut.

Why no time to look up from down below?

 

The flowers grow

With ev’ry shower.

Knowing the full power

Of the sky’s glory,

They know their own story.

Unflappable, they grow

Whether noticed or not, they bestow

Greatness without worry.

 

The moon and stars smile

Their pure delight,

Recognizing they’ll always shine

Whether anyone notices or not.

The moon and stars look up

To the One who created them

Knowing they’re His gems.

To praise God is more than enough.

Gentle, true and powerful words shared dear Melinda.
"They know their own story.

Strong crafting of an extended metaphor . . . light/sky = God. Strong sentiments expressed about how this connection bolsters you & all you care about (((HUGS)))
