When the stars fell



Looking deep into  the night
The black curtain has been lowered
What should be
There is not
Where are they
The stars have fallen
To the heart of the heart
All seems lost
But wait
Open thy soul
And behold what you see
Thy faith has returned
And so have the stars
For the night of your soul
Has filled itself
With the twinkle twinkle
Of God's night lights
To show that with faith
Comes the light
Day or night
