In my father’s land are
streets paved with gold – serenading
many mansions
Mine is the beauty on the hill
on the edge of a magical lake
that cradles the moon
and reflects the night sky
Fireflies delight in painting
words while the owl waits
lazily for nothing in particular.
All aglow
-reflecting His glory

I like it, the ‘quote’ promise worked quite well here. I have a room reserved there. Thanks for reading, I have a nicer prose poem on now than the dark one you read.
