Morning Star Poem by Lowell Martin

When my heart surgeon released me in February,2007 from open heart surgery, he said: 'Your life has been spared for a reason, make good use of it.' A few weeks later I looked through a still dark sky to the east, and seeing a beautiful full moon over which hung the Morning Star, I sat down and wrote this poem. And then I began writing essays on the four gospels. In the four years after that brief 'epiphany, ' I had completed 1,130 essays with over a million words. Those essays have gone over much of the United States, and into several foreign countries.
