Mystery Night

Great mystery soars the skies at night from shadowed places frail in light. Our eyes with wonder scan the vast and dark abyss which holds real plight. You've seen the endless heavens cast and share the light of stars amassed. Each sparkling diamond on the deep is light which burned in ages past. We ponder before seeking sleep if starlight and the moon can keep our souls safe on the earth below as time unfolds night's witching sweep? Yet, if we glean from twilight's flow some clue the obscure night bestow, could we then solve its ancient rhyme and know why we fear darkness so? Deep sleep finds us before the time when plays the gloaming's silent mime. Will we awake to see your prime obsidian heavens, so sublime. Mystery Night 12-16-14
