Meteors at Night: February 2014

One muggy and unusual night, I woke at 3 AM, hazily recalled predictions of spectacular meteor showers, and dragged a sleepy Larry with me out to our driveway to watch for meteorites. After craning our necks for a few minutes that seemed like hours, we finally saw one or two tiny, magnificent flashes. It was a catch-it-in-the-corner-of-your-eye type thing. There and gone. Blink and you miss it. We stumbled back inside and I couldn't sleep for the Glory of God's night sky. Words pelted my brain and I had to write them down. (See the very first post: Meteors at Night.)

Like the meteor shower, my inspiration often comes unbidden at night in quick bursts that demand my attention. I get excited about it. I don't want to miss it, not any of it. Not one quick flash, not one Illumined moment, not one whisper from God.

I'm trying hard to catch it and collect it and put it all in one sky. You're welcome to do a little gazing here anytime.

One

Every single flake, a

Tiny, minor miracle,

Spinning its uniqueness

Oh so softly to the earth.

It’s a

One-of-a-kind, one-at-a-time,

Frosty, fine, inspired design –

Made by the Maker of all things lovely,

Loved by the Lover of all things made.

Snow Show

Driving in the polka-dotted, decorated air:

Flakes a-flying, me-oh-mying,

Moving, ever moving through the

Ever changing show!

Tires spinning, (traction winning!)

Praying (eyes wide open) in the

Mesmerizing snow.

The Ha-Ha with a Smile

Tell me, what is sweeter

Than the first laugh of a baby?

The unexpected chortle –

The ha-ha with a smile

Her dancing eyes,

Her parents’ cries,

Cameras snapping,

Hearts a-clapping

Baby’s voice,

Her “funny” choice,

Joy explosion,

Raw emotion

Tell me, what is sweeter

Than the first laugh of a baby?

The unexpected chortle,

The ha-ha with a smile
