"Forgiven Under The Stars"

The moon was hanging full

hazy beneath the horizon

floating away into space,

there across the heavens

magnified a revolving light,

becoming like a shadow

I could almost touch it.

A signpost to the sea

in crystalline waters,

the natural color

reflecting upwards,

the crescent moon

shining it’s light on me

sitting in my courtyard,

a stargazer in holy faith

searching for the truth.

My life the lonely man

seeing our world dying,

atom bombs exploding

beneath a black moon,

one by one the stars

fading from sight

there into heaven.

Shining a life for me

praying for lost souls

before the gate closes,

how about you a friend

not too late to be saved,

God is calling you home

the perfect dome above,

angels dancing with you

forgiven under the stars.
