well, there is a bit of light on the edge of night
We have filled your dark with our lights
fires at first, campfires, cooking fires
then torches and candles (now THERE was a technological leap)
then lanterns
I remember lanterns from childhood visits to my mother’s family
fishing cabin
But now we put on laser light shows
and pollute your night with our small lights
I feel as if I’ve lost
the WONDER of the starry night
Oh Lord, OH LORD,
HELP ME TO SEE
