The moon in pale brilliance
tempers the summer sea,
the blessed land in silent prayer,
the lilting breath of all that lives.
Upon the altar of the heart,
stripped of conflict,
the world resplendent
in naked radiance.
This night, crafted for song,
lifts praise to the sky,
as benedictions of the living
bathe the earth in light.
Reading of “Altar of the Heart” with music by Dire Straits
Your words elicit feelings of peace and liveliness simultaneously. I like how the music sets a happy tone.
Don, you catch the beauty. I had a flight that landed at 5 am the other day and caught some of that same radiance in the sunrise east of Chicago.
Don — Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. We who are alive & well are so fortunate, and hopefully, grateful for being bathed in light. Mike
Yes Indeed, Don — As is Quite Evident, Our Moon’s Heavenly Light Rules the Night! (Genesis 1:15-16)
This peace and solitude of a moonlit night speaks beautifully to me. Thanks for your heartfelt words, Don.
Don, You have such a way of painting such a beautiful landscape with your words! So much appreciated. Love to you Brother!
Thank you Don, beautiful. And as I read, Peace like a mighty river flows through the dark ocean of my soul. db
