MONIQUE BERRY

Jewels of the Night by Monique Berry My steel-grey eye retracts to fully view His heavenly sculptures—  jewels of the night adorn a vast crown of creation. My internal world glitters with each celestial wonder. Deep calls unto deep. How can I, this earthbound observatory, express the ecstatic sensations of gazing into reflection nebulas, whirlpool galaxies Great Wall, Horsehead Nebula, or the Milky Way? Giant meteors trail bright sparks in the black heavens. An auditorium of stars creates a synergetic rhythm— music to my soul. Superclusters appear close, inviting symbiotic touch. Feelings overwhelm me; words fail. So, I relinquish all expressive inability to the One whose hands created these jewels, and rest in the knowledge that He understands me*.  *Psalm 94:9
