Open the Night

Hope
inspires
boldness to
open the night.
Crystalline ribbons
of celestial light weave
a welcome carpet of stars. 
Pilgrims glow with holy rapture
bid us to rest near the Master's feet
as He cradles the lost lamb in His arms.

Joyce Josephson

    I love this one. What a lovely write. I can only say, "Amen, Maranatha!" This awakens in me the longing for that glorious day. May it be soon.

    This is a perfect etheree in both form and content. I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Titles Challenge group. Please don't judge us by our June output. For a variety of reasons it was a slow month for many of our members. We are a very supportive group, and I know you will enjoy being a part of it. Peace, Liz
