Re-Sent
stars draw pictures on the night
with a cough of milky lightinto the shadows dark
creating comfort art to dull
the dangerous fear that strikes
within the midnight black
dawn gives rise to a longing
a hunger for a greater space
a stellar sky and a sudden breeze
she offers prayerful praise
for dark shadows calmed when
stars draw pictures on the night

Nicely said!! I like the metaphor..
Beautiful imagery, the eloquent mystery of this piece is so wonderfully enticing.
I like how you comment in the second stanza about our lack of comfortableness with the void, the dark...commenting on our collective fear of nothingness. I like your metaphor of the milky light coughed onto the dark canvas of night in the first stanza. Well done.
very convincing and witty poem!
"dawn gives rise to a longing" is a great line!
Susan a beautiful poem and response to the prompt using these words!

I like the idea of stars drawing pictures on the night! Very creative!
A milky light coughed on to dark canvas....just beautiful Sparrow Sigh!
Nothing more comforting that a clear, star filled night sky, especially with a full moon.
Exquisite piece of work! Brilliant writing.
Beautiful images (the ones Nicole said all caught me, too) -- effective repetition of first and last line.
This felt very soft, draemlike, and gentle to me...quite lovely!
I love that opening stanza, and the piece is complemented so well by the fractal.
beautiful!
I love "dark shadows calmed" -- such a powerful image. there is such a difference when the stars are visible.
Beautifully written! Thanks for sharing!
