    "To Him Who Made The Stars"

     

     

    "To He Who Made The Stars"
    By Joseph Vance & Sam Hyde

     


    Peace in the night
    when I kneel
    before You
    As I raise my tired eyes toward heaven,
    I catch a glimpse of the moon
    As it appears from behind lazy clouds
    and I remember who made all things
    and your peace descends once
    again on my heart
    such placid beauty at night
    the heavens aflame with starlight
    calms my troubled mind
    and;
      illuminates my soul when I see but one star in the sky,
    knowing that the same light which gave it life
    has called me to a new birth in the midst of
    the black hole of eternity
    where darkness awaits those
    who reject peace in their heart
    and have never knelt in prayer
    amid the starry hosts
    of heaven
    Like Cain, they are wroth at having their
    less than worthy offering rejected.
    They do not view the night as a time to notice God's handiwork,
    but as a time to do deeds unbecoming in the light of day
    so that when they come to live in outer darkness forever,
    they will truly be in their own element
    left to suffer the fate they desired
    what really breaks Gods heart is
    that desire to live apart
    to never kneel at night
    in peaceful prayer
    and see the moon softly illuminate the land

    the sky aflame with stars.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
