Let's Grab a Pocketful of Starlight

My request is that you see the site below before reading poem:
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap040222.html
My tears well up
filled with the beauty before me

In awe I praise our Creator
for the glory of His hand

I'm almost breathless
for the density of such glorious light

How can there be darkness
when such power and light exist?

I almost choke at its immensity
its congregation, beyond imagination

My mind's capability so meager,
to comprehend the view before me.

Should I travel into such a realm
would I not collide at every turn;

Would I find it impossible
not to come away with my pockets full

Full of love, beauty, joy, peace,
patience, light, power and everlasting eternity's

Flavor, aroma, texture, sight
and the sound of vast silence to carry in my pockets, too.

Could I carry them all to you
to share, from out there, for everywhere?!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thank you both. It so helps to see my puny scratches through another's eyes. They get to hold a little more value than a mud puddle that way. They are so meager compared to the beauty of His creation.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
