Stardust and light

Stardust and light

Stars swirl into being
Each an arc in destiny
Now flaring , now dying
This dance of eternity

Light flows , bends , swirls
Creates a spectacle illusory
We discover ourselves,
With a glance inward, cursory

We ,these children of stardust and light .

P.S In response to a picture prompt of Van Gogh's Starry night

The feast

The feast

I husk the emptiness
Of my days , searching for meaning
In a whirlwind of chaff
Seek to find the grain

So I can consume it
For sustenance 
To find the strength
To blunder through this day

I am tired of being lost
Of seeking, searching
Help me find peace
To lay rest this swirling tornado
Of anger , injury

So I may feed at the repast
Of Your mercy, love, joy.

Hammocks of faith

Hammocks of faith

On polarities
Of dual understanding
Swings hammock of faith
