Second-Hand World

2/5/2022

0 Comments

 
By Laura Arendt

Petals of lavender dance in the Spring breeze,
Fog settles and rests quietly in the dew drop fields.

But the morning sun,
Oh how she rises!
Her hopeful light bursts forth,
and her colorful hues reflect her Creator's passion.
Oh how she rises!

A new day has been set into motion,
          as new mercies shine forth upon this second-hand world.

Father time winds his clock and the day closes as quickly as it began.

The evening sun travels West.
Oh how she sets!
Gracefully leaving the horizon with one last reminder of how she ruled the skies.
She leads a trail for the moon to follow through the stardust.
Oh how she sets!

The moon clothes himself in starlight,
          as he reflects the Creator's passion.

The day comes to an end as awe,
          ​Wonder,
                    ​and mystery sweep through this second-hand world.

Laura Arendt is a theopoet who became more intentional about her writing while earning her Masters of Divinity at Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond, IN (USA). She grew up in Gettysburg, PA, but now resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she enjoys living with her beloved life partner, John.
