A star within

It looks like summer light
is switched off                 
as cold autumn comes.
Oh, but when darkness deepens,
we see the bright stars above!

And there is always a star
showing the presence of Christ,
the light of Life within,             
the reliable light of divine Love
offering
the warmth of a universal affection
anytime, any season.

In such a clear atmosphere,
how can I not burst with prayer
to reach the heights of a life 
reflecting God’s vital care?
