You are the Sapphire of the night
glistening gem-like in the heart.
I see You as the Faithful One.
You as the Morning Star.
So far away...my heart murmurs.
Yet, I know You are as close
as my next heartbeat.
O' Morning Star, so wondrous,
so Divinely beautiful.
It is not that You have drawn away;
but that I have focused
on other things, on other loves.
Still, I see You as
the glistening Sapphire in the night
sprinkled with hopeful stars,
earnest galaxies. And, I know
that You are the Creator.
Your breath gently blowing
the planets into their destined orbits.
I see Your steadfast Love
in this world's very existence.
You are the Sapphire of the night
so exquisite, so immense.
And, here I am, viewing You
from a distance, when all
that You want is to cradle me
in the unmatched gentleness
of Your Eternal Arms.
