Midnight Portrait
Startled awake, I toss and turn.
At first, frustrated, impatient,
thirsty for sleep to return.
My attentive brain won't rest.
I lay awake,
soaking in the still silence.
Observant of the wonders
outside my window.
I marvel at the midnight sky.
Each star precisely placed
with careful thought.
If stars are placed,
how much more so, me ...
my moments, days,
my life.
No footstep is by happenchance.
Each stepping stone
skillfully arranged before me.
The moments of my days
faithfully devised.
No accidents, no coincidences.
But methodically planned,
accurate,
faultless,
perfect.
The portrait of my life
lovingly painted,
with gentle strokes.
