I looked and saw, one lonely night,
Where 'cross the heavens, softly lie,
Bright burning points of light,
Strewn across and endless sky.
Set against that velvet screen.
To all, it beauty did extol.
This night so fair, mine eyes have seen,
To sooth my aching, weary soul.
What vision sent so vast and fair,
From younger heavens far above.
What wonders set with boundless care
To show God's path to perfect love.
Now heavenward my thoughts take flight,
Toward that vast celestial home.
Outward found this starry night;
The glories seen of Heavens done
Well thought out and nicely embellished in poetic rhyme and rhythm. A beautiful creation.
a Great poem! Me too, several times look up to the starry sky and got peace of mind. The Creation of God is really wonderful!

Set against that velvet screen. To all, it beauty did extol. This night so fair, mine eyes have seen, To sooth my aching, weary soul..............the longing to go to heaven, the land of beauty after meditating on the starry night. a glorious poem of hope. tony
