Vespers

 

All my life I've looked for a shooting star, believing it would be a kind of blessing, never seeing one, until last night

 

 

 

"Silent night, holy night" . . . a low sky

Darkening in the spires of the pines,

The blue-white arc of a streaking star -

 

A match flaring in the arch of the apse

Of an empty cathedral, lighting candles,

And one by one the ancient gods appear.

What one man takes for granted may be another's man's blessing. I'm happy for you. Elegantly written, from the heart I'm thinking.
