"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.
