Nature and beauty inspire me. This recent photograph, used by permission of the photographer, spoke to me. I hope you like what it said.
Night Sky Comfort
The velvet cloak wrapped me
in its embrace,
a hug like no other
Its soft, soothing presence
a still oasis
in the tempest of life
The beacon of the night
shone above
a partial orb of illumination
Its steady presence,
through shifting shapes,
held great hope
The inky comfort
began to fade
with the promise of dawn
