Desert Heaven
“He also made the stars. God
set these lights in the heavens
to light the earth…”
(Genesis 1:16b-17 NLT)
Away from city lights
the black Mojave Desert
sky is illuminated
by heaven’s natural radiance
Packed in my line of vison
are different shapes and designs
that were created in space
by the divine Creator
A periodic interruption
of a falling star zips across
the universe like a splash
of paint made to enhance
a new part of the galaxy
which waits to be discovered
Closure of the Past
“…I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live
and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice,
and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life…”
(Deuteronomy 30: 19-20 NIV)
In my past, I lived
in a hell of self-absorption
with a consuming
nightmare of imperfection
enhanced by the influence
of rebellious idols in my life
As I walk away from former
days, I welcome a heavenly
peace filled with God’s mercy
where His grace is lavished
on me regardless of my faults
This unconditional love
compels me to turn from
how I once was and towards
life where new dreams
are formed beyond
my imagination
