"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.
