The summer air warms your skin

The gentle rays from the sun cast a golden light over you.

Time slows in on you as you

Savor the present moment.

The puppy snore soothes your soul

The comfort of your chair holds you close

As you take a moment to stop progressing, moving, creating, innovating, living, imagining, growing, nurturing, encouraging.

You breathe in the spring air.

And you think about Him.

He is soft and wild

strong and compassionate.

He rides on the clouds

Because of Him, not one star is missing.

Without the star, the night would be darker than dark.

Next to the darkness, the star shines.

Bright

Imaginative

Full of life

You shine.

Your light is so bright.

It’s glowing.

One day the Light will evaporate all else.

until the Light is all we see

Illuminating your path

Brightening your eyes

Brighter and Brighter it shines.

But the path of the righteous is like the light of the dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:19)
