This morning

 

"my house being now all stilled" 

— St. John of the Cross 


I lay in a bed of shooting stars, 

Fading lost wishes from lonely nights. 

Many times the dark consumed my sight, 

Till a heavenly spark ignited my soul. 


Short-lived but truest hope broke through, 

Making this bed of joy and despair. 

Isn’t all good, all heaviness fated to die, 

Like shimmering shooting stars in the sky?
