The Artist

A moonbeam rides along

the angled roof and sits

in the hollows under eaves

outside my window

as I consider starlight in drifts,

like mist blown on ink.

The blue haloed Venus

has light distilled to white

and then diffused

into a translucence

of beautiful gauze.

Moon, stars, all glorious on God’s

obsidian canvas,

and I am but a humble 

observer held captive,

awed

by wonder upon

wonder,

star after

star.
