“The Night Sky,” New Era, June 1984, 51

The Night Sky

The jeweler

Holds out the black velvet cloth,

And thousands of diamonds

Of every size,

Glitter and gleam and hold my eyes.

Then I see

The jeweler’s careful clockwork,

As the celestial bodies circle

Their appointed paths

With unfailing precision and unending beauty.

There are some

Who say there is no God,

But I know there is

a Heavenly Jeweler

For I have seen His gems.
