Starfire

Starfire                     4/24/2017

Sometimes memories

They are just too heavy to lift

And dreams well

They are only dreams.

Nothing but dazzling snowflakes

Spinning in our imagination

Gossamer perfection

Too perfect to touch.

Half asleep

And half awake

The words come

Even though I forget

Before I write them down.

Beauty is everywhere

But only the mindful

Can see

The gifts of God

Pure, perfect and free.

I have had it all

And I have lost

More than I remember

But what we have is precious

And irreplaceable. 

There is a reason

That the words flow

And there is also a reason

That they are read. 

Larger than me

And larger than the world

The gift spreading outwards

In ten thousands directions. 

Welling up inside

We must let them out

Even if we never see

Any impact

Or meaning. 

God knows

And he will make us full

One day all of us

Feasting forever.
