It was a night so beautiful that your soul seemed hardly able to bear the prison of the body. ~W. Somerset Maugham
Out in the open of night
Where this place seeps into the heavens
And the ceiling of day has been lifted
My eyes can see God
I want to move closer
And reach out my hand
To touch His face
That is where I feel
What true salvation is
The elixir of hope
That only God and angels
Can give
Floods through my veins
My thirst for God
Never ends
But each night I return
like an old man to the church
for prayer
I pray for you
I pray for me
And for another night of stars.
