In the violet sky with all its royal hues covering earth below,
I see wispy cloud like invisible wings spread across my vision,
Enfolding all creation in unseen comfort
As distant starlight begins peeping through fading sunlight
In the oncoming rush of night…
Beautiful, splendid brilliance of Your universe unfurled before my eyes.

You hold me close in Your arms—
Quieting my spirit to hear the singing stars,
Cradling me so I can feel Your heartbeat in the pulse of their radiance—
And You let me lean my weary head against Your chest
Till all the colors and sounds melt together into a tranquil lullaby.
Lord Jesus, indeed Your yoke is easy and Your burden light…
Illuminating my soul and my world.
