staring into the deep darkness
hypnotized into light years of space
unbelievably amazing
of God's wondrous creation
and the millions of amazing
flickering candle flames
from near and far
and bright and dark
so beautiful, with silver lining
to each and every one
a little hand reaches out
and touches an unreachable light
out of the stillness
dew drops descended
exotic coolness swept my heart away
this beautiful place
i no longer want to leave.
