So Far, So Near

So vast the stage where stars and moons perform
Against a spatial curtain twinkling bright
Bathed soft in solar beams of opal white
Their costumes are God’s sequins that adorn
The infinite abysses that were born
Before the face of man was touched by light
The heav’nly bodies distant in the night
Invisible at early break of morn

Elusive is the twinkling of a star
We cannot grasp it’s splendor with the eye
Yet seek the closeness of a friend within
Embracing it with wishes from afar
The lazy moon sung in a lullaby
The little stars strummed in our dearest hymn

Yes...a quiet, yes...

Good morning, Lizzy... I can't believe you can do this so well so bright and early in the AM... I think I'll take some lessons from you... meet you for a cup of coffee.... Beat you to the kitchen...
