Desert Night
by eliz100
A wizened brown-robed monk
Knelt in silent supplication Outside his humble hermitage In the star-filled desert night Experiencing great despair Questioning his life of prayer His soul dust-filled and bone dry Pleading with God for consolation Movement in the night-time sky Caught his cataract-distorted eye A UFO drawing quickly near Is this real or a heavenly vision As the small silver orb hovered He watched with amazement and awe As the sphere of shiny metal Transformed into a movie screen His soul filled to overflowing With the essence of God's love Many pictures lit up the screen The fruits of his lfe of atonement God's voice resonated in his soul Brother your life of sacrifice Has not been wasted but celebrated The angels and saints watch over you Be still and know that I am God In times of elation and despair Eternal gifts await you here To glorify your life of prayer |
