Miracles Breathe Above

by Poet on the Piano   Feb 14, 2010


I contemplate as I stare
at the vigilant eye of an angel.

How can one describe the flawless creation of our Lord?

Maybe by writing the truth, dazzling simplicity.

I believe that each individual star
whether it falls or shoots across twilight's grasp
once walked afoot on this deteriorating soil
of an evolving life around us.

They occupied a human body and soul
overcoming worldly temptations
and taking swiftly every opportunity
to pass along the song of love.

Our greedy hearts lightened up
and saw the bright side of new moons
we shall not perish in a dark abyss
filled with no giggling smiles.

Those true saints on earth
ascended to their place in Heaven
and were assigned a mission
to kindle night's black face.

Maybe we all can someday join them.

Will we ever reach their highest embrace?

I kiss the stars goodnight
and dream of dancing at their feet.
