When The Stars Don't Shine: A Poem

When The Stars Don't Shine: A Poem


What is it like when the stars don't shine?
When the dark of night is just that...
the dark of night
When the moon is nowhere to be seen
and someone has turned off the stars
as if they were gas lights on cobbled streets of yesteryear
This is my hour in my own Garden of Gethsemane
and someone has turned off the stars
Deliver me, O Lord!
