If only one could see them as in this NASA picture
but the moon will diminish the spectacle this year (2011 and again in 2022).
Celestial Stream
Exquisitely unpredictable,
these brief shafts of light:
randomly they catch the eye
waking the senses
to realms apart
from the gradual strolling sky.
Glorious, dazzling trails,
redolent of the Holy Spirit’s flight,
unexpected,
arousing curiosity,
inspiring,
guiding,
waking or re-energising the soul
to God’s deeper mysteries of life Other poems with similar themes can be found in the special index Here
